Conceptual Usage Example (Python)

Here’s a conceptual Python code snippet to show how you might call this action:

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 = "6930067e-0288-4629-b412-a606299c6e69"  # Action ID for Generate Vintage Pen Lettering

# Construct the input payload based on the action's requirements
payload = {
    "model": "dev",
    "width": 1024,
    "height": 1024,
    "prompt": "a retro pen lettering design with ornamental ligatures featuring the phrase \"Retro Pen Lettering Style\" in a caligraphic way. Acompanied by small, modern and sans serif font featuring the quote \"A FLUX DEV LORA\". The composition is finely hand-drawn and placed in the center on a vintage bordeaux book cover. The text evoke a medieval or Victorian-era aesthetic. In the style of TOK",
    "loraScale": 1,
    "numberOfOutputs": 1,
    "imageAspectRatio": "1:1",
    "imageOutputFormat": "png",
    "imageOutputQuality": 80,
    "diffusionGuidanceScale": 4.5,
    "numberOfInferenceSteps": 28
}

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 snippet, replace YOUR_COGNITIVE_ACTIONS_API_KEY with your actual API key. The action ID is specified, and the input payload is structured according to the required schema.
