Six API incidents in 90 days, three on v3 endpoints between 23 and 29 September.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### ArtCraft\n\n1. Use the interactive application unless an official automation interface is confirmed.\n2. Check the model service terms before sending private reference media.\n\n### Ideogram API\n\n1. Send multipart form data, not JSON\n2. Treat 402 as no credit or no payment method, and 422 as an unsafe prompt to rewrite, not retry\n3. Check `is_image_safe`. When it's false the `url` is empty\n4. Download images straight away, the links expire\n5. Use the `/async/` variants with `webhook_url` for batches and verify the Ed25519 signature\n\n## Tutorials\n\n- [Make a short launch poster with Ideogram](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tutorials/ideogram/), for Ideogram API\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, ArtCraft or Ideogram API?\n\nIdeogram API scores 50 (D) on agent readiness against ArtCraft's 22.8 (F), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
