Keys are organisation-wide with no scopes, and the API has no changelog or deprecation policy.\n\n**Ideogram API.** Text rendering and layout control are the model's focus. Six API incidents in 90 days, three on v3 endpoints between 23 and 29 September.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Bria API\n\n1. Send the key in the `api_token` header, not as `Authorization: Bearer`. Only `/v2/image/verify` and `/v2/video/verify` work without it\n2. Expect `202` with `request_id` and `status_url` from v2 endpoints. Poll `GET /v2/status/{request_id}` every 1 to 2 seconds, or pass `sync: true`\n3. Status polls count towards the per-endpoint limit (10 a minute on Free, 60 on Pay-as-you-go), so prefer `webhook_url` for batches\n4. Download results promptly. Image URLs expire after 3 days by default, and legacy `/v1/product/*` results after 1 hour\n5. Do not resend a failed `POST` blindly. There is no idempotency key, and the SDKs retry status polls only\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## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Bria API or Ideogram API?\n\nBria API scores 63.7 (B) on agent readiness against Ideogram API's 50 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Bria API and Ideogram API need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Bria API and Ideogram API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Bria API has a hosted endpoint at https://engine.prod.bria-api.com/v2 and Ideogram API at https://api.ideogram.ai/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bria-vs-ideogram.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bria-vs-ideogram.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"bria\", \"b\": \"ideogram\"}`.
