## Usage Examples

### cURL

```bash
curl --request POST \
  --url https://modelslab.com/api/v6/images/text2img \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "model_id": "qwen-edit-2.1",
    "prompt": "A surrealist editorial photograph in cinematic photorealism, featuring a woman sitting completely motionless and expressionless on a wooden swing above a grassy shoreline. She wears a teal terry-cloth robe, oversized white oval sunglasses, colorful hair curlers, and simple flip-flops, with a cigarette held naturally between her lips. The wooden swing seat and ropes are engulfed in vivid bright-orange flames, producing translucent gray smoke that rises into the overcast sky, while the woman remains calm and unaffected at the center of the composition. Cool, soft overcast daylight evenly illuminates the pale sea, cloudy sky, and grassy foreground, creating a strong contrast with the warm emissive glow of the fire and subtle specular highlights reflecting across the sunglasses. Dark leafy branches frame the upper edge of the image, calm hazy water fills the middle ground, and textured grass anchors the foreground. Capture the scene as a vertically composed full-body portrait using an eye-level camera angle and a 50mm lens, with a shallow depth of field, realistic skin and fabric textures, natural atmospheric haze, cinematic tonal range, detailed flames and smoke, and an unsettling yet elegant surreal fashion-editorial mood.",
    "width": "1024",
    "height": "1024",
    "num_inference_steps": "30"
  }'
```
