Edit or extend an existing image from a text prompt using OpenAI compatible image editing models through Requesty’s routing.

Base URL

https://router.requesty.ai/v1/images/edits

Authentication

Include your Requesty API key in the request headers:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_REQUESTY_API_KEY

Example Request

The endpoint accepts both multipart/form-data (the OpenAI SDK default for file uploads) and application/json (with image references as base64 data URLs or file IDs).

multipart/form-data

curl https://router.requesty.ai/v1/images/edits \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_REQUESTY_API_KEY" \
  -F "model=azure/openai/gpt-image-1" \
  -F "prompt=Make the sky a dramatic sunset" \
  -F "image[]=@./photo.png" \
  -F "size=1024x1024" \
  -F "quality=auto"

For multiple input images, repeat the same form field once per file:

curl https://router.requesty.ai/v1/images/edits \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_REQUESTY_API_KEY" \
  -F "model=azure/openai/gpt-image-1" \
  -F "prompt=Combine these references into one image" \
  -F "image[]=@./photo-1.png" \
  -F "image[]=@./photo-2.png" \
  -F "image[]=@./photo-3.png" \
  -F "size=1024x1024" \
  -F "quality=auto"

application/json

curl https://router.requesty.ai/v1/images/edits \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_REQUESTY_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "azure/openai/gpt-image-1",
    "prompt": "Make the sky a dramatic sunset",
    "images": [
      { "image_url": "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgo..." }
    ],
    "size": "1024x1024",
    "quality": "auto"
  }'

Supported Models

azure/openai/gpt-image-1 OpenAI’s GPT Image 1 model via Azure
azure/openai/gpt-image-1.5 OpenAI’s GPT Image 1.5 model via Azure

Masked Edits

Provide a mask image to restrict edits to a specific region. Transparent pixels in the mask are the area that will be regenerated.

curl https://router.requesty.ai/v1/images/edits \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_REQUESTY_API_KEY" \
  -F "model=azure/openai/gpt-image-1" \
  -F "prompt=Replace the background with a forest" \
  -F "image[]=@./portrait.png" \
  -F "mask=@./mask.png" \
  -F "size=1024x1024"

Transparent Backgrounds

Use the background parameter together with output_format=png (or webp) to produce edits with transparent backgrounds:

curl https://router.requesty.ai/v1/images/edits \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_REQUESTY_API_KEY" \
  -F "model=azure/openai/gpt-image-1" \
  -F "prompt=Isolate the product on a transparent background" \
  -F "image[]=@./product.png" \
  -F "background=transparent" \
  -F "output_format=png"

Error Handling

The API returns standard HTTP status codes:

200 Success
400 Bad Request (invalid parameters)
401 Unauthorized (invalid API key)
413 Payload Too Large (uploaded images exceed the size limit)
429 Rate Limited
500 Internal Server Error

This endpoint is fully compatible with the OpenAI Images API. You can use the OpenAI SDK’s client.images.edit() method directly.

To generate a new image from scratch rather than edit an existing one, use the Create Image endpoint. See the Image Generation feature guide for a full comparison.
