# Image Generation

## Generate Image

> Generates images from text prompts. Supports OpenAI models and Leonardo AI models.\
> \
> \*\*OpenAI models\*\* (gpt-image-1, gpt-image-1-mini, dall-e-2, dall-e-3) respond \*\*synchronously\*\* — the image URL is returned directly.\
> \
> \*\*Leonardo models\*\* (\`leonardo/...\`) respond \*\*asynchronously\*\* — the response contains a \`taskId\`. To retrieve the image, poll \*\*POST /api/v1/getAsyncResponse\*\* with the \`taskId\`:\
> \`\`\`json\
> { "taskId": "leo\_abc123xyz" }\
> \`\`\`\
> Poll every few seconds until the status is \`succeed\`, then use the returned image URL.

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fastrouter.ai/api-reference/image/image-generation.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
