Is there an API available?
Can I get higher resolution or higher quality images?
Is there a copyright on the output?
Hi everyone,
I’m working on a small side project where I need to generate images from text prompts in Python, but my local machine is too underpowered to run Stable Diffusion or other large models. I’m hoping to find a hosted service (or open API) that:
Offers a free tier (or something close to ~50 images/day)
Provides a Python SDK or at least a REST API that’s easy to call from Python
Supports text-to-image generation (Stable Diffusion, DALL·E-style, or similar)
Is reliable and ideally has decent documentation/examples
So far I’ve looked at:
OpenAI’s DALL·E API (but free credits run out quickly)
Hugging Face Inference API (their free tier is quite limited)
Craiyon / DeepAI (quality is okay, but no Python SDK)
Has anyone used a service that meets these criteria? Bonus points if you can share:
How you set it up in Python (sample code snippets)
Any tips for staying within the free‐tier limits
Pitfalls or gotchas you encountered
Thanks in advance for any recommendations or pointers! 😊
