Use one of the examples below to generate your first AI output in seconds.


## 🚀 Getting Started

[![Ask DeepWiki](https://deepwiki.com/badge.svg)](https://deepwiki.com/pollinations/pollinations)

### Image Generation

```bash
curl 'https://gen.pollinations.ai/image/a%20beautiful%20sunset' -o image.jpg
```

Or visit [pollinations.ai](https://pollinations.ai) for an interactive experience.

### Text Generation

```bash
curl 'https://gen.pollinations.ai/text/Hello%20world'
```

### Audio Generation

**Simple GET endpoint:**

```bash
curl 'https://gen.pollinations.ai/audio/Hello%20from%20Pollinations?voice=nova&key=YOUR_API_KEY' -o speech.mp3
```

**OpenAI TTS compatible:**

```bash
curl 'https://gen.pollinations.ai/v1/audio/speech' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -d '{"model": "tts-1", "input": "Hello from Pollinations!", "voice": "nova"}' \
  -o speech.mp3
```

Available voices: `alloy`, `echo`, `fable`, `onyx`, `nova`, `shimmer`, plus [30+ ElevenLabs voices](https://gen.pollinations.ai/docs).

### MCP Server for AI Assistants

Our MCP (Model Context Protocol) server enables AI assistants like Claude to generate images and audio directly. [Learn more](https://github.com/pollinations/pollinations/blob/HEAD/packages/mcp/README.md)

#### Configuration

Add this to your MCP client configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pollinations": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@pollinations/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Run with npx (no installation required)

```bash
npx @pollinations/mcp
```

Community alternatives like [MCPollinations](https://github.com/pinkpixel-dev/MCPollinations) and [Sequa MCP Server](https://mcp.sequa.ai/v1/pollinations/contribute) are also available.

AI assistants can:

- Generate images from text descriptions
- Create text-to-speech audio with various voice options
- Play audio responses through the system speakers
- Access all pollinations.ai models and services
- List available models, voices, and capabilities

**For more advanced usage, check out our [API documentation](https://github.com/pollinations/pollinations/blob/HEAD/APIDOCS.md).**

## 🔐 Authentication

Get your API key at [enter.pollinations.ai](https://enter.pollinations.ai/keys)

### Key Types

| Key             | Prefix | Use Case                       | Rate Limits              | Status  |
| --------------- | ------ | ------------------------------ | ------------------------ | ------- |
| **App Key** | `pk_`  | Browsers, mobile apps, public clients | Budget & permissions set at creation | Stable |
| **Secret**      | `sk_`  | Server-side only               | No rate limits           | Stable  |

> ⚠️ **Never expose `sk_` keys** in client-side code, git repos, or public URLs

> 💡 **Building an app?** Use [Bring Your Own Pollen](https://github.com/pollinations/pollinations/blob/HEAD/BRING_YOUR_OWN_POLLEN.md) — users pay for their own usage, you pay $0

### Model Restrictions

Each API key can be scoped to specific models. When creating a key at [enter.pollinations.ai](https://enter.pollinations.ai/keys), you can:

- **Allow all models** — key works with any available model
- **Restrict to specific models** — select exactly which models the key can access (e.g., only `flux` and `openai`, or just `gptimage-large`)

### Usage

```bash
curl 'https://gen.pollinations.ai/image/a%20cat?key=YOUR_KEY'
```

**Environment variable (best practice):**

```bash
export POLLINATIONS_API_KEY=sk_...
```

See [full API docs](https://github.com/pollinations/pollinations/blob/HEAD/APIDOCS.md) for detailed authentication information.

## 🖥️ How to Use

### Web Interface

Our web interface is user-friendly and doesn't require any technical knowledge. Simply visit [https://pollinations.ai](https://pollinations.ai) and start creating!

### API

Use our API directly in your browser or applications:

    https://pollinations.ai/p/a_cozy_pixel_art_robot_and_bee_in_a_digital_garden_8-bit_warm_stardew_valley_vibes

Replace the description with your own, and you'll get a unique image based on your words!

Here's an example of a generated image:

<p align="center"><img src="https://media.pollinations.ai/9e0df3b04d27666c" alt="Pixel art robot and bee in a cozy digital garden — Stardew Valley vibes" width="800" /></p>

## 🎨 Examples

### Image Generation

Python code to download the generated image:

    import requests

    def download_image(prompt):
        url = f"https://pollinations.ai/p/{prompt}"
        response = requests.get(url)
        with open('generated_image.jpg', 'wb') as file:
            file.write(response.content)
        print('Image downloaded!')

    download_image("a_cozy_pixel_art_robot_and_bee_in_a_digital_garden_8-bit_warm_stardew_valley_vibes")

### Text Generation

### Audio Generation

Generate speech from text:

    https://gen.pollinations.ai/audio/Hello%20from%20Pollinations?voice=alloy&key=YOUR_API_KEY

Or use the OpenAI TTS-compatible endpoint:

```bash
curl 'https://gen.pollinations.ai/v1/audio/speech' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -d '{"model": "tts-1", "input": "Hello from Pollinations!", "voice": "alloy"}' \
  -o speech.mp3
```

MCP Server for AI Assistants

Our MCP (Model Context Protocol) server enables AI assistants like Claude to generate images and audio directly. Learn more

Configuration

Add this to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pollinations": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@pollinations/mcp"]
    }
  }

Model Restrictions

Each API key can be scoped to specific models. When creating a key at enter.pollinations.ai, you can:

Allow all models — key works with any available model
Restrict to specific models — select exactly which models the key can access (e.g., only flux and openai, or just gptimage-large)

Usage

curl 'https://gen.pollinations.ai/image/a%20cat?key=YOUR_KEY'

Environment variable (best practice):

export POLLINATIONS_API_KEY=sk_...

🖥️ How to Use

Web Interface

Our web interface is user-friendly and doesn't require any technical knowledge. Simply visit https://pollinations.ai and start creating!

API

Use our API directly in your browser or applications:

https://pollinations.ai/p/a_cozy_pixel_art_robot_and_bee_in_a_digital_garden_8-bit_warm_stardew_valley_vibes

Replace the description with your own, and you'll get a unique image based on your words!

Here's an example of a generated image:

Pixel art robot and bee in a cozy digital garden — Stardew Valley vibes

Robot holding generated image saying I CAN SEE, nomnom creature eating prompt text

🎨 Examples

Image Generation

Python code to download the generated image:

import requests

def download_image(prompt):
    url = f"https://pollinations.ai/p/{prompt}"
    response = requests.get(url)
    with open('generated_image.jpg', 'wb') as file:
        file.write(response.content)
    print('Image downloaded!')

download_image("a_cozy_pixel_art_robot_and_bee_in_a_digital_garden_8-bit_warm_stardew_valley_vibes")

Text Generation

To generate text:

https://gen.pollinations.ai/text/What%20is%20artificial%20intelligence?

Audio Generation

Generate speech from text:

https://gen.pollinations.ai/audio/Hello%20from%20Pollinations?voice=alloy&key=YOUR_API_KEY

Or use the OpenAI TTS-compatible endpoint:

curl 'https://gen.pollinations.ai/v1/audio/speech' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -d '{"model": "tts-1", "input": "Hello from Pollinations!", "voice": "alloy"}' \
  -o speech.mp3
