Notes

Some third-party sites claim Apache-2.0 - HF card says license: other (non-commercial). API: Api-Key header, multipart with text_prompt or json_prompt; rendering_speed=FLASH currently returns 400. Also /v1/ideogram-v3/generate (previous gen).

curl -X POST https://api.ideogram.ai/v1/ideogram-v4/generate -H "Api-Key: $IDEOGRAM_API_KEY" \
  -F text_prompt="Minimal concert poster, title 'NIGHT SHIFT' in bold serif"
