Générer des variations
Soumets un job de variations — une image source, éventuellement guidée — et récupère un id de job.
image source. L’appel renvoie
202 Accepted avec un id de job ; interroge
GET /images/variations/{id} pour le
résultat. L’image prend exactement un de image_id, url ou
base64 + mime_type. Requiert le scope images.transform.
Exemple : une source par mode
202 est le handle de job asynchrone :
image. target — ce que les variations
peuvent changer — est everything (défaut), person, object ou scene.
creativity est subtle ou creative (défaut). variation_instructions (quoi
changer) et preservation_instructions (quoi conserver) sont du texte libre
optionnel, ≤ 2000 caractères chacun. num_outputs (1 à 4) vaut 1 par défaut et
chaque sortie (output) est facturée. Il n’y a pas de paramètre resolution — la
résolution de sortie est héritée de la source.Credits
Chaque sortie (output) coûte5 credits en 1K, en fonction du palier de résolution
de l’image source (1K ×1, 2K ×2, 4K ×4) et multiplié par num_outputs.

POST /images/variations body (SAM-816 / S8.4 — ADR §8, §10).
Generate creative variations of ONE source image (the app's Gemini 3 Pro
variations flow). The source is exactly one of image_id (an image in your
organization's context), an https url, or base64+mime_type. The output
resolution is inherited from the source (there is no resolution param);
each output is billed at 5 x resolution_multiplier credits (1K:1x, 2K:2x,
4K:4x) where the multiplier is the source image's resolution tier. target
and creativity are lowercase public aliases of the internal Gemini
variation controls; num_outputs defaults to 1 (the app default is 4).
The source image: exactly one of image_id, url, or base64+mime_type.
What the variations may change: everything (default), person, object, or scene.
everything, person, object, scene "everything"
How far the variations may deviate from the source: subtle or creative (default).
subtle, creative "creative"
Optional free-text guidance for WHAT to change (<= 2000 chars).
2000"Try different background colors and lighting"
Optional free-text guidance for WHAT to keep (<= 2000 chars).
2000"Keep the product label and shape unchanged"
Number of variations to generate (1-4). Defaults to 1 (the app default is 4); each output is billed.
1 <= x <= 41
Optional https webhook notified once on terminal status (signed per the webhook signature scheme; see the webhooks docs).

Successful Response
Shared 202 body for the transform-op submits (SAM-813 / S8 wave).
Every POST /images/<op> returns the async job handle
{id, status, estimated_credits}. The initial status is pending (the
job is queued), with ONE exception: background-removals and
vectorizations answer an owned-image_id cache hit (a ready result
already exists for that image) with status: "completed" and
estimated_credits: 0 — no new job is queued, the completed webhook
event is emitted immediately for a supplied webhook_url, and the result
is already available from the op's GET .../{id} endpoint. The other
transform ops (img2img, variations, resizes, upscales) always
start pending.
The job id — poll the op's GET .../{id} endpoint.
Initial status: pending (job queued — enter the polling flow), or completed with estimated_credits: 0 when background-removals / vectorizations serve an owned-image cache hit (the result is immediately available).
pending, processing, completed, failed, cancelled "pending"
Credits this job is expected to cost — 0 on a cache-hit completed response.
