🧩 Nodes Overview

1. Generate Image (Trigger)

This node contains the following fields:

  • Image Prompt: (text input)
  • Dimensions: Square, Landscape, Portrait
  • AI Model: Basic, Premium

This acts as the entry point to your workflow.
It collects input and sends it to the APImage API node.

Note: You can swap this node with any other node that lets you define the parameters shown above.


2. APImage API (HTTP Request)

This node sends a POST request to:

https://apimage.org/api/ai-image-generate

The request body is dynamically filled with values from the first node:

{
  "prompt": "{{ $json['Describe the image you want'] }}",
  "dimensions": "{{ $json['Dimensions'] }}",
  "model": "{{ $json['AI Model'] }}"
}

✅ Make sure to set your API Key in the Authorization header like this:
Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

🔐 You can find your API Key in your APImage Dashboard 🡥


3. Download Image (HTTP Request)

Once the image is generated, this node downloads the image file using the URL returned by the API:

{{ $json.images[0] }}

The image is stored in the output field: generated_image


4. Upload to Google Drive

This node takes the image from the generated_image field and uploads it to your connected Google Drive.

📁 You can configure a different target folder or replace this node with:

  • Dropbox
  • WordPress
  • Notion
  • Shopify
  • Any other destination

Make sure to pass the correct filename and file field, as defined in the "Download Image" node.
