Discontinued. Calls to imagen model names fail on both the Gemini API and Vertex AI.\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### Google Imagen\n\n1. Replace `client.models.generate_images` with `client.models.generate_content` and a `gemini-3.1-flash-image` model\n2. Read images from the response content parts, not from `generated_images`\n3. Don't budget from the Vertex Imagen price rows, they describe a retired product\n4. If the job needs a mask-based inpaint, use another vendor's fill endpoint, since Gemini image editing is prompt-based\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## Other comparisons with Google Imagen or Ideogram API\n\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- [Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs Google Imagen](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-google-imagen.md)\n- [Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs Ideogram API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-ideogram.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- [Google Imagen vs Leonardo.Ai API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-imagen-vs-leonardo-ai.md)\n- [Google Imagen vs OpenAI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-imagen-vs-openai-image-api.md)\n- [Google Imagen vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-imagen-vs-recraft.md)\n- [Google Imagen vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-imagen-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Google Imagen vs Stability AI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-imagen-vs-stability-ai-image.md)\n- [Ideogram API vs Leonardo.Ai API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ideogram-vs-leonardo-ai.md)\n- [Ideogram API vs OpenAI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ideogram-vs-openai-image-api.md)\n- [Ideogram API vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ideogram-vs-recraft.md)\n- [Ideogram API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ideogram-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Ideogram API vs Stability AI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ideogram-vs-stability-ai-image.md)\n",
