Recraft v4.1 Pro Text To Image API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/recraft-ai/recraft-v4.1-pro/text-to-image with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Recraft v4.1 Pro Text To Image below.

You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Recraft v4.1 Pro Text To Image API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/recraft-ai/recraft-ai-recraft-v4.1-pro-text-to-image.

How much does Recraft v4.1 Pro Text To Image cost per run?

Recraft v4.1 Pro Text To Image starts at $0.25 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Recraft v4.1 Pro Text To Image accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `image_size`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/recraft-ai/recraft-ai-recraft-v4.1-pro-text-to-image.

How do I get started with the Recraft v4.1 Pro Text To Image API?

Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.

Can I use Recraft v4.1 Pro Text To Image outputs commercially?
