Ghibli Filter Image API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/ghibli-filter/image with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for Ghibli Filter Image below.

HTTP example

# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/ghibli-filter/image" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg"
}'

# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"

# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].

Node.js example

// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');

const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env

const result = await client.run("wavespeed-ai/ghibli-filter/image", {
        "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg"
});

console.log(result.outputs[0]); // → URL of the generated output

Python example

# pip install wavespeed
import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(
    "wavespeed-ai/ghibli-filter/image",
    {
    "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg"
}
)

print(output["outputs"][0])  # → URL of the generated output

Ghibli Filter Image API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Ghibli Filter Image API?

Ghibli Filter Image is a WaveSpeedAI model for image editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. AI Ghibli Filter transforms a photo into Studio Ghibli anime style. Upload an image and get a Ghibli-style result. Ready-to-use REST inference API, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Ghibli Filter 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 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/wavespeed-ai/ghibli-filter-image.

How much does Ghibli Filter Image cost per run?

Ghibli Filter Image starts at $0.050 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 Ghibli Filter Image accept?

Key inputs: `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/wavespeed-ai/ghibli-filter-image.

How do I get started with the Ghibli Filter 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 Ghibli Filter Image outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (WaveSpeedAI). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
