# Generate image with Muse Image 1.0

> Meta Muse Image 1.0 — agentic image generation: the model can ground your prompt with web and image search and run code for charts, tables and text layouts before rendering (all included). Excellent typography and factual accuracy, ~2K output. Text-to-image, image editing, and multi-reference composition from up to 4 input images. Flat 12 credits per image.

**Asynchronous.** Returns a job `id` (the image is not in this response). Poll [`GET /v1/images/{id}`](/api-reference/images/get-image-job-status) until `status` is `succeeded` — the generated image URLs are in that response's `images` array (each `{ url, position }`).

    The BudgetPixel developer API for programmatic image, video, music and

    sound-effect generation.


    Generation is **asynchronous**: you create a job, then poll its status until
    it

    reaches a terminal state (`succeeded` / `failed`). You are charged in
    credits

    only on success — never for failures, timeouts, or content blocked before

    generation.


    **Authentication.** All requests require an API key sent as a bearer token:

        Authorization: Bearer bpx_live_xxx

    Create and manage keys from your BudgetPixel account dashboard. The
    developer

    API is available on the **Premium** plan and above.


    **Pricing.** API usage is metered in credits at each model's published price

    (see `GET /v1/models`), and your plan's model discounts and active
    promotions

    apply to API charges exactly as they do on the web — `POST /v1/cost` quotes

    your discounted price. Pro and Ultra plans include a daily free-models

    allowance (a shared pool of free generations per day across qualified image

    models such as FLUX 2 Klein and Qwen-Image) that covers API

    requests too — the standard price applies once the day's pool is used.

    Other promotional free daily generations remain web/app-only. Failed

    generations are never charged.


    **Rate limits.** Requests are limited per minute: **600 requests/min per API

    key** and **1200 requests/min per source IP** (defaults; subject to tuning).

    Every response carries `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, and

    `X-RateLimit-Reset` (seconds until the window resets). Exceeding a limit

    returns HTTP `429` with a `Retry-After` header — wait that long before

    retrying. Rejected requests still count against the window, so a tight retry

    loop keeps you limited; back off instead. Generation jobs additionally have
    a

    per-plan concurrency cap (the same one as the web workshop), independent of

    these request limits. `POST /v1/uploads` also has a dedicated **60
    uploads/min

    per account** cap (it's free/unmetered) on top of these limits.
