API Endpoint

POSThttps://api.segmind.com/v1/flux-dev

Parameters

promptrequired
string

Text prompt for image generation

Default: "detailed cinematic dof render of an old dusty detailed CRT monitor on a wooden desk in a dim room with items around, messy dirty room. On the screen are the letters “FLUX dev” glowing softly. High detail hard surface render"
aspect_ratiooptional
string

Type of scheduler.

Default: "1:1"
Allowed values :
"1:1""16:9""21:9""2:3""3:2""4:5""5:4""9:16""9:21"
guidanceoptional
integer

guidance

Default: 3Range: 0 - 10
output_formatoptional
string

An enumeration.

Default: "webp"
Allowed values :
"webp""jpg""png"
output_qualityoptional
integer

Quality when saving the output images, from 0 to 100. 100 is best quality, 0 is lowest quality. Not relevant for .png outputs

Default: 80Range: 0 - 100
samplesoptional
integer

Number of samples to generate.

Default: 1Range: 1 - 4
Allowed values :
1
seedoptional
integer

Seed for random number generation

Default: 46588
stepsoptional
integer

number of steps

Default: 25Range: 1 - 50

Response Type

Returns: Text/JSON

Asynchronous requests (v2)

Use Async for video, long-running (>~60s), or high-concurrency workloads; Sync is simplest for fast image & LLM calls. Async submits a request and you poll it to completion.

  1. 1
    POST /v2/flux-dev

    Submit — returns request_id, status_url, response_url

  2. 2
    GET /v2/requests/{id}/status

    Poll — until COMPLETED or FAILED

  3. 3
    GET /v2/requests/{id}

    Result — final response body

Status states

QUEUED— Accepted, waiting for a worker
PROCESSING— Running on a worker
COMPLETED— Done — result body is ready
FAILED— Errored (incl. content/RAI blocks)
  • A FAILED request is served as HTTP 422 — the body still carries the error detail.
  • An unknown or expired request_id returns HTTP 404.
  • Results are retained for 1 hour, then expire.
  • Content / RAI blocks surface as FAILED, not a separate state.
  • Track completion by polling the status endpoint.
