What is the Ideogram v3 Turbo API?
Ideogram v3 Turbo is a Ideogram model for image generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Ideogram V3 Turbo produces the highest-quality Ideogram v3 images with photorealistic detail, creative designs, and consistent style. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
How do I call the Ideogram v3 Turbo 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 prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/ideogram-ai/ideogram-ai-ideogram-v3-turbo.
How much does Ideogram v3 Turbo cost per run?
Ideogram v3 Turbo starts at $0.030 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 Ideogram v3 Turbo accept?
Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `aspect_ratio`, `reference_images`, `enable_base64_output`, `mask_image`. 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/ideogram-ai/ideogram-ai-ideogram-v3-turbo.
How long does Ideogram v3 Turbo take to generate?
Average end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 7 seconds per request — measured across recent runs. Queue time scales with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.
Can I use Ideogram v3 Turbo outputs commercially?
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Ideogram). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
