Magic Editor API Documentation

Base URL: https://api.ideal.house
Version: v1
Updated: 2026-03-06

📖 Overview

The Magic Editor API allows you to intelligently edit and transform images using AI. By providing a source image and an optional text prompt, the AI will apply smart modifications to the image based on the selected model mode. The workflow is asynchronous and involves two steps:

Create a task — Submit your image and parameters, then receive a taskId.
Poll for results — Use the taskId to query task status and retrieve the edited image.

🔐 Authentication

All API requests must be authenticated using an API Key.

Include your API Key in the request header:

Header	Value
`APIKEY`	`your_api_key_here`

⚠️ Keep your API Key secure. Do not expose it in client-side code or public repositories.

💰 Credits Deduction

[!WARNING] 🪙 Credits are deducted based on the selected modelType upon successful task creation. If the task ultimately fails, the deducted credits will be automatically refunded to your account.
Insufficient credits will return error code 9051. 📄 See Credits Deduction Reference.

Model (`modelType`)	Credits Deducted
`Flash`	1 credit
`Base`	3 credits
`Pro`	10 credits

📌 API Endpoints

1. Create Magic Editor Task

Creates a new AI magic editor task and returns a unique taskId for polling.

Endpoint

POST /api/v1/magicEditor/generate

Request Headers

Header	Required	Description
`APIKEY`	✅ Yes	Your API authentication key
`Content-Type`	✅ Yes	`application/json`

Request Body

Field	Type	Required	Description
`imageUrl`	`string`	✅ Yes	URL of the source image to edit
`prompt`	`string`	⚠️ Conditional	Text prompt describing the desired edits. Required when `modelType` is `Base`; optional for `Flash` and `Pro` modes
`modelType`	`string`	❌ Optional	Model type. Enum: `Flash`, `Base`, `Pro`. Defaults to `Flash`

Model Types

Value	Description	Prompt Required
`Flash`	Default. Fast editing with automatic AI-driven smart generation	❌ Optional
`Base`	Text-guided editing — uses your prompt to precisely control the output	✅ Required
`Pro`	Higher quality editing with more detailed results	❌ Optional

⚠️ Important: When modelType is Base, the prompt field must be provided. Requests with modelType=Base and no prompt will return a parameter error.
