Endpoint
GEThttps://api.cortexcloud.org/v1/ml/image-generateWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-call text-to-image generation without API keys, using USDC micropayments via x402 on Base. It is ideal for AI agents that need on-demand image generation with no subscription overhead, and benefits from automatic fallback between fal.ai and Replicate for higher reliability.
Side effects
- Upstream provider (fal.ai or Replicate) unavailable causing generation failure
- Payment not processed or insufficient USDC balance resulting in 402 response
- Prompt contains disallowed content leading to generation refusal
- Timeout if the model takes too long to generate the image
- Invalid or missing prompt parameters returning a 400 error
