  • seed (integer): The seed value for generation; use -1 to allow the system to select a random seed.
    Example: -1
  • model (string): The model identifier to be used for processing.
    Example: "MiaoMiao-Harem-v1.5a"
  • steps (integer): The number of steps the model will take during generation, between 1 and 100. Default is 30.
    Example: 30
  • width (integer): The output image width, ranging from 1 to 4096 pixels. Default is 1280.
    Example: 1280
  • height (integer): The output image height, ranging from 1 to 4096 pixels. Default is 1280.
    Example: 1280
  • prompt (string): The initial text prompt for generation, utilizing Compel weighting syntax.
    Example: "cafe, waifu, 1girl, blonde, blue eyes, beauty, bunny cosplay, waitress, seductive"

  • negativeImagePrompt (string): A negative prompt specifying elements to exclude.
    Example: "nsfw, naked"

The complete example input looks like this:

{
  "seed": -1,
  "model": "MiaoMiao-Harem-v1.5a",
  "steps": 30,
  "width": 1280,
  "height": 1280,
  "prompt": "cafe, waifu, 1girl, blonde, blue eyes, beauty, bunny cosplay, waitress, seductive",
  "upscale": "Original",
  "scheduler": "Euler a",
  "adetailerFace": false,
  "adetailerHand": false,
  "negativeImagePrompt": "nsfw, naked"
}

]

Conceptual Usage Example (Python)

Below is a conceptual Python snippet demonstrating 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 = "1e4ba781-c1c0-44b0-a688-dc7bb218bd34"  # Action ID for Generate Anime Character Image

# Construct the input payload based on the action's requirements
payload = {
    "seed": -1,
    "model": "MiaoMiao-Harem-v1.5a",
    "steps": 30,
    "width": 1280,
    "height": 1280,
    "prompt": "cafe, waifu, 1girl, blonde, blue eyes, beauty, bunny cosplay, waitress, seductive",
    "upscale": "Original",
    "scheduler": "Euler a",
    "adetailerFace": False,
    "adetailerHand": False,
    "negativeImagePrompt": "nsfw, naked"
}

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, be sure to replace the placeholder for the API key and endpoint URL. The action ID and input payload should be structured as shown, allowing you to generate stunning anime character images seamlessly.
