}Generate an image into the media library asynchronously
Kick off an AI raster generation (kind: PHOTO via
gpt-image on Azure OpenAI, PHOTO_EDIT / IMAGE_EDIT via fal
nano-banana-2/edit). The handler validates the recipe, resolves
every media id through the same reachability rules as
GET /v1/media (owned + profile-assigned, READY only — raw
URLs are never accepted), atomically reserves AI-spend
capacity, enqueues an async job, and returns a Job envelope.
On completion the job’s result carries the new asset as
{ mediaId: "img_…" }, usable with GET /v1/media and
PATCH /v1/posts/{postId}/media.
Cost: counts against the daily AI-spend cap (~6¢ for PHOTO, ~11¢ for the edit kinds, reconciled with provider actuals after the job runs). The reservation is a single atomic conditional update — concurrent calls cannot jointly exceed the cap; losers receive a 402.
wait_for_completion_ms is a soft hint — the server polls
for up to that many milliseconds (capped at 25 000 ms) before
returning.
Requires the media:write scope.

}Authorizations
Pass Authorization: Bearer scripe_sk_live_<...> (or
scripe_sk_test_<...> for test keys) on every request. Keys
are scoped to a single workspace and can be revoked from the
Scripe dashboard.
The same header also accepts an OAuth 2.1 access token
(scripe_oat_*); both credentials share one scope vocabulary
and every operation below documents the scope it requires.
An API key can hold every scope named on this surface except
webhooks:manage, which is grantable to OAuth tokens only
today — the webhook-endpoint operations answer
403 scope_missing to every API key. Operations that name no
scope accept any valid token of the workspace.
Headers
Pin the API version. Format YYYY-MM-DD. Omit to receive the
currently rolling default. Unknown versions return 400 version_unsupported.
"2026-08-10"
Opaque string (1–64 chars, [A-Za-z0-9_-]) used to dedup
retried writes. Within 24h of the first request, the same key
- same body returns the original response (
Idempotent-Replayed: true). Same key + different body returns409 idempotency_key_conflict.
Strongly recommended for every write — see

"proj_a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8"
PHOTO: original AI image (optionally style-referenced).
PHOTO_EDIT: compose the author's own photo(s) into a
desired look. IMAGE_EDIT: targeted in-place tweak of an
existing generated image.
PHOTO, PHOTO_EDIT, IMAGE_EDIT Styling/format instructions — look-and-feel only. On PHOTO
and PHOTO_EDIT the workspace's saved branding is available
material: it is applied when the instructions ask for it (for
example "in our branding"), never forced onto a run that asked
for a different look.
4000The core idea/intention the visual communicates.
4000Explicit instruction that takes priority. For IMAGE_EDIT
this is the change to apply.
4000PHOTO only. style (default) draws loose inspiration
from the references; replicate faithfully recreates
their composition.
style, replicate Up to 3 media ids used as style/look references. Media ids only — URLs are never accepted.
3PHOTO_EDIT only: the author's own photo(s) whose
likeness must be preserved.
2IMAGE_EDIT only: the generated image to edit in place.
Must belong to the project itself.
