krea/2-large/text-to-image

Krea 2 Large is the highest-detail tier of Krea's text-to-image line, built for finished frames and key shots. It takes a prompt of up to 5,000 characters in eight aspect ratios, including 2.35:1 anamorphic, and accepts reference images.

Send a request

Quickstart

Examples use the selected endpoint’s public parameter definitions. Replace the API key and example media, then send the request from your server.

POSThttps://api.spicyapi.ai/api/v1/jobs/createTask

API authentication

Keep the API key in the server environment variable SPICY_API_KEY. Use Bearer authentication and Content-Type: application/json for JSON requests.

Authorization: Bearer $SPICY_API_KEY

Generated from this model’s input schema — the same one the API validates every request against.

Input parameters

Place these fields inside the request body’s input object. Names and types match the API. Do not assume a default when none is specified.

promptstringRequired

Up to 5,000 characters, and this tier has room for the whole brief. Lead with subject, then composition, light and material; padding with adjectives is where a description starts to fight itself. With no seed here, a miss is re-run with clearer wording rather than re-steered.

Default
Not specified
Constraints
minLength:1
maxLength:5000
aspect_ratiostringOptional

Square by default, running from 9:16 portrait to 2.35:1 anamorphic. The frame is composed for the ratio you ask for, so 2.35:1 buys staging no crop of a square can recover. Same price whichever you pick.

Default
"1:1"
Allowed values
"1:1""4:3""3:2""16:9""2.35:1""4:5""2:3""9:16"
reference_strengthnumberOptional

How strongly the reference images shape the result, from 0 to 1 in steps of 0.1; the default is 1 and the value applies to every reference image. At 1 the result can borrow the references' composition as well as their look; lower values mostly keep the palette and texture while the prompt sets the composition. Even low values keep a strong style. Only matters when you send reference_image_urls. Does not change the price.

Default
1
Constraints
minimum:0
maximum:1
reference_image_urlsarray<string>OptionalAffects price

Up to ten images you are authorised to use, and the field is optional. They steer style — palette, grain, material, light. At the default reference_strength of 1 they can also carry over composition motifs; lower it when only the look should transfer, and composition, pose and framing will come from the prompt. All ten count equally, so two or three angles of one look carry more than a stack of near-identical frames.

Constraints
maxItems:10

Track the task

HTTP 202 means the task was accepted, not completed. Save the returned taskId and query that task. Do not create another task while waiting for its result.

Accepted response
HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted
Location: /api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=job_01k3m8x9q2z4v7n5p6r8s0t1w3

{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "success",
  "request_id": "req_example_create",
  "data": {
    "taskId": "job_01k3m8x9q2z4v7n5p6r8s0t1w3",
    "state": "queued",
    "estimatedCost": "0.750000"
  }
}

The accepted response includes the estimate so your app can show the same amount in task history and billing.

Read the job
curl --get "https://api.spicyapi.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo" \
  --data-urlencode "taskId=$TASK_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPICY_API_KEY"

Start polling at about 2 seconds and gradually increase the interval. Stop at a terminal state. After a connection failure, query the original taskId. Retry creation only with the original idempotency key and body.

Or let the callback find you
import { verifyWebhook } from "@spicyapi/sdk";

// express.raw keeps the bytes we signed; express.json never matches.
app.post("/hooks/spicy", express.raw({ type: "application/json" }), (req, res) => {
  const { payload } = verifyWebhook({
    rawBody: req.body,
    timestamp: req.header("X-Webhook-Timestamp"),
    signature: req.header("X-Webhook-Signature"),
    payloadVersion: Number(req.header("X-Webhook-Payload-Version")),
    secret: process.env.SPICY_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
  });
  res.status(200).end();
  void handleFinishedTask(payload);
});

Pass callBackUrl when you create the task and the finished record is POSTed to you — no polling loop at all. Every delivery carries X-Webhook-Timestamp, X-Webhook-Signature and X-Webhook-Payload-Version. The signature is a base64 HMAC-SHA256 over taskId.timestamp.sha256(body), so it must be checked against the raw bytes: parsing the JSON and re-serialising it changes them and the check will fail. Failed deliveries are retried, so the same taskId can arrive twice — make the handler idempotent. Answer 2xx first and do the work afterwards; a slow handler is treated as a failed delivery.

Read the result

Consume output only when state is succeeded. On failure, use errorCode, errorMessage and request_id to investigate. Example costs and states do not represent an actual bill.

    "completedAt": "2026-08-28T12:00:30Z"
  }
}

For each available asset, open or download assets[].url directly without an API Authorization header. The signed URL expires at expiresAt; poll the task again to refresh it while the asset remains within its retention period. A pending or unavailable asset has no URL. Treat signed URLs as private.
