Enterprise contract only. No self-serve sign-up and no public price list.\n\n**Recraft API.** Native SVG vector generation, not traced raster. No changelog and no error reference.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Adobe Firefly API\n\n1. 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### Recraft API\n\n1. Use `/v1/images/generations/vector` when the task must return SVG, so the server rejects raster models\n2. Ask for `b64_json` or `multipart` if you can't fetch the URL within a day\n3. Name `recraftv4_1_flash` for drafts at $0.007. The default `recraftv4_1` costs $0.035\n4. Stay under 100 images a minute and 5 requests a second per user\n5. Point the OpenAI SDK at `https://external.api.recraft.ai/v1`, but expect some parameters to be ignored\n\n## Other comparisons with Adobe Firefly API or Recraft API\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 fal image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-fal-image.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 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 Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-recraft.md)\n- [fal image models vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-image-vs-recraft.md)\n- [Google Imagen vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-imagen-vs-recraft.md)\n- [Ideogram API vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ideogram-vs-recraft.md)\n- [Leonardo.Ai API vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/leonardo-ai-vs-recraft.md)\n- [OpenAI Image API vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openai-image-api-vs-recraft.md)\n- [Recraft API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/recraft-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Recraft API vs Stability AI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/recraft-vs-stability-ai-image.md)\n",
