For more information, see Model billing and rate limiting.
Prerequisites
You can call the text-to-image V1 model API over HTTP or using the DashScope SDK.
Before making a call, get an API key and export the API key as an environment variable.
To call the API using the SDK, install the DashScope SDK. The SDK is available for Python and Java.
HTTP invocation
Image models take a long time to process. To prevent timeouts, HTTP calls support only asynchronous result retrieval. Two requests are required:
-
Create a task to get a task ID: Send a request to create a task. The response returns a task ID (
task_id). -
Query the result using the task ID: Use the task ID from the previous step to query the task status and result. If the task is successful, the response returns an image URL that is valid for 24 hours.
After creation, the task enters a queue for scheduling. Call the query API to retrieve the task status and result.
Step 1: Create a task to get a task ID
POST https://{WorkspaceId}.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/text2image/image-synthesis

DashScope SDK invocation
Make sure you have installed the latest version of the DashScope SDK. Otherwise, a runtime error may occur. For more information, see Install the SDK.
The DashScope SDK currently supports Python and Java.
The parameter names in the SDK are mostly consistent with those in the HTTP API. The parameter structure varies based on the SDK encapsulation for each language. For parameter descriptions, see HTTP invocation.
Because image model processing can be time-consuming, the underlying service is provided asynchronously. The SDK is encapsulated to support both synchronous and asynchronous invocation methods.
Python SDK invocation

FAQ
Model billing and rate limiting
Free quota
-
Description: The free quota applies only to successfully generated output images. Input images or failed model processing do not consume the free quota.
-
How to get: It is automatically granted when you activate Model Studio. Valid for 90 days.
-
Account scope: Shared between your Alibaba Cloud account and its RAM users.
-
For more details, see Free quota for new users.
Limited-time free trial
-
If billing shows a limited-time free trial, the model is in public preview. You cannot use the model after the free quota runs out.
Billing details
-
If a clear unit price is shown — for example, CNY 0.2 per second — the model is commercially available. You must pay after the free quota expires or is fully consumed.
-
Billing scope: Charges apply only to successfully generated output images. Other scenarios are not billed.
-
Billing method: Billing is applied to your Alibaba Cloud account. RAM users cannot be billed independently. Your Alibaba Cloud account must cover all associated charges. To view billing information, go to the Bills page.
-
Recharge: Go to the Expenses and Costs console.
-
View invocation metrics: Go to the Monitoring page.
-
For more billing questions, see Billing Items.
Rate limiting
-
Rate limit scope: Shared between your Alibaba Cloud account and its RAM users.
