​
Quick start

​
Multi-angle generation

Generate multiple camera angles from a single reference image: 
import { createVarg } from "vargai/ai"

const varg = createVarg({ apiKey: process.env.VARG_API_KEY! })

const result = await varg.imageModel("qwen-angles").generate({
  prompt: "product shot from a 45-degree elevated angle",
  imageUrl: "https://example.com/product.jpg",
})

​
Unified generation/editing

Qwen Image 2 auto-routes between generation and editing based on whether images are provided:
cURL
# Text-to-image (no files)
curl -X POST https://api.varg.ai/v1/image \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VARG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "qwen-image-2",
    "prompt": "a serene Japanese garden with cherry blossoms"
  }'

# Image editing (with files)
curl -X POST https://api.varg.ai/v1/image \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VARG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "qwen-image-2",
    "prompt": "add autumn colors to the trees",
    "files": [{ "url": "https://example.com/garden.jpg" }]
  }'
