Create AI-generated images from text descriptions with customizable aspect ratios. The generated image is returned immediately as an Image object. 
import videodb

conn = videodb.connect(api_key="your_api_key")
coll = conn.get_collection()

image = coll.generate_image(
    prompt="Serene mountain landscape with golden sunset",
    aspect_ratio="16:9"
)

print(image.id)
print(image.generate_url())
  • Supported aspect ratios: 1:1, 9:16, 16:9, 4:3, 3:4
  • Default aspect ratio is 1:1 if not specified
  • Generation is asynchronous; use callback_url for webhook notification when ready
  • Image IDs have an i- prefix (e.g., i-a1b2c3d4)
