  • width (integer): The width of the output image. Default is 1024.
  • height (integer): The height of the output image. Default is 1024.
  • prompt (string): A descriptive prompt for the image. Example: "happy, a sweet girl with fluffy strange hair, staring into the camera".
  • sampler (string): The algorithm used for image generation. Default is "Default".
  • scheduler (string): The scheduling method for generation. Default is "Default".
  • randomSeed (integer): A seed number for repeatability. If not set, a random seed is used.
  • imageFormat (string): The output image format. Options include webp, jpg, and png. Default is webp.
  • imageQuality (integer): Quality of the generated image, from 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest). Default is 80.
  • loraStrength (number): Influence of the Lora model on generation, from 0 to 3. Default is 1.
  • samplingSteps (integer): Number of steps for the sampler. Defaults to recommended steps if left blank.
  • guidanceFactor (number): Strength of the prompt's effect on generation.

Example Input:

{
  "width": 1024,
  "height": 1024,
  "prompt": "happy, a sweet girl with fluffy strange hair, staring into the camera",
  "sampler": "Default",
  "scheduler": "Default",
  "imageFormat": "webp",
  "imageQuality": 80,
  "loraStrength": 1,
  "negativePrompt": "",
  "numberOfImages": 1
}

Output:

Upon successful execution, the action returns an array of URLs pointing to the generated images. Here’s an example of the output you might receive:

[
  "https://assets.cognitiveactions.com/invocations/9ee1895e-6ae1-4390-b403-c1782f9b1dbc/e6123796-7754-47a3-83f4-dc60395790b4.webp"
]

Conceptual Usage Example (Python):

Here’s how you can call the Generate Sketch Manga Style Image action using Python:

import requests
import json

# Replace with your Cognitive Actions API key and endpoint
COGNITIVE_ACTIONS_API_KEY = "YOUR_COGNITIVE_ACTIONS_API_KEY"
COGNITIVE_ACTIONS_EXECUTE_URL = "https://api.cognitiveactions.com/actions/execute"  # Hypothetical endpoint

action_id = "f278fe19-04c5-4a1a-b824-9a54910a9364"  # Action ID for Generate Sketch Manga Style Image

# Construct the input payload based on the action's requirements
payload = {
    "width": 1024,
    "height": 1024,
    "prompt": "happy, a sweet girl with fluffy strange hair, staring into the camera",
    "sampler": "Default",
    "scheduler": "Default",
    "imageFormat": "webp",
    "imageQuality": 80,
    "loraStrength": 1,
    "negativePrompt": "",
    "numberOfImages": 1
}

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {COGNITIVE_ACTIONS_API_KEY}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

try:
    response = requests.post(
        COGNITIVE_ACTIONS_EXECUTE_URL,
        headers=headers,
        json={"action_id": action_id, "inputs": payload}  # Hypothetical structure
    )
    response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an exception for bad status codes (4xx or 5xx)

    result = response.json()
    print("Action executed successfully:")
    print(json.dumps(result, indent=2))

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(f"Error executing action {action_id}: {e}")
    if e.response is not None:
        print(f"Response status: {e.response.status_code}")
        try:
            print(f"Response body: {e.response.json()}")
        except json.JSONDecodeError:
            print(f"Response body: {e.response.text}")

In this code snippet, you'll need to replace YOUR_COGNITIVE_ACTIONS_API_KEY with your actual API key. The payload variable is structured according to the action's input requirements, and the response will contain the URLs of the generated images.

Conclusion
