What bfl-api does

bfl-api explains how to connect BFL FLUX API to an application for image generation, editing, and processing. The guide covers model and regional endpoints, image input by URL, multi-reference editing, and resolution-based pricing.

It describes the basic request flow: send a POST request, receive a polling_url, and wait for the result. Polling is suggested for scripts and local work, while webhooks are covered for production server-to-server workflows. The material includes Python and TypeScript examples plus handling for rate limits and API errors.

The BFL_API_KEY environment variable must be set before use. Result URLs expire after 10 minutes, so the image should be downloaded as soon as generation finishes; storing those URLs in a cache would be a problem.

What it helps with

  • connect BFL FLUX API to an application
  • build an async flow around polling_url
  • handle API rate limits and errors
  • configure webhooks for a production workflow
  • send multiple images for editing

Example prompts for the agent

  • Show me how to connect BFL FLUX API in this project with Python and verify `$BFL_API_KEY`.
  • Build an async FLUX request for this app using `polling_url` and error handling.
  • Configure result delivery with a webhook and explain when to use it instead of polling.
