Call the REST async endpoints directly. `@adobe/firefly-apis` 2.0.1 targets the removed synchronous paths and has no Image 5 or upscale methods\n2. Cache the IMS token and refresh it before its 24 hours run out\n3. Poll `/v3/status/{jobId}`, back off on 429 using the retry-after header, and download results within the hour their URLs stay valid\n4. Send `precise_upsampler_v1` to Upscale. `creative_upsampler_v1` returns 422 since 2026-04-24\n5. Image 5 lives at `/v4/images/generate-async`. Image 3 and 4 stay on `/v3/images/generate-async`\n\n### fal image models\n\n1. Fetch `https://fal.ai/models/\u003cendpoint-id\u003e/llms.txt` before calling a model to get its schema and price\n2. POST to `https://queue.fal.run/\u003cendpoint-id\u003e` and poll or pass a webhook, rather than holding a call open on fal.run\n3. Use an API-scoped key for agents. ADMIN keys can deploy and manage apps\n4. Download outputs you need to keep. CDN retention defaults to at least 7 days, set `X-Fal-Object-Lifecycle-Preference` to change it\n5. Validate inputs before submitting, a malformed request can still be billed\n\n## Other comparisons with Adobe Firefly API or fal image models\n\n- [Adobe Firefly API vs Black Forest Labs FLUX API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-black-forest-labs.md)\n- [Adobe Firefly API vs Google Imagen](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-google-imagen.md)\n- [Adobe Firefly API vs Ideogram API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-ideogram.md)\n- [Adobe Firefly API vs Leonardo.Ai API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-leonardo-ai.md)\n- [Adobe Firefly API vs OpenAI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-openai-image-api.md)\n- [Adobe Firefly API vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-recraft.md)\n- [Adobe Firefly API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Adobe Firefly API vs Stability AI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-stability-ai-image.md)\n- [Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs fal image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-fal-image.md)\n- [fal image models vs Google Imagen](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-image-vs-google-imagen.md)\n- [fal image models vs Ideogram API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-image-vs-ideogram.md)\n- [fal image models vs Leonardo.Ai API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-image-vs-leonardo-ai.md)\n- [fal image models vs OpenAI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-image-vs-openai-image-api.md)\n- [fal image models vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-image-vs-recraft.md)\n- [fal image models vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-image-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [fal image models vs Stability AI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-image-vs-stability-ai-image.md)\n", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-10-05", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.3", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Compare", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/" }, { "name": "Adobe Firefly API vs fal image models", "url": "" } ], "description": "fal image models has a score of 65.5 (B) against Adobe Firefly API's 49.2 (D).
