A contract with Adobe sales, then a Developer Console project with OAuth server-to-server credentials, both in a browser. After that the flow is code. Exchange the client ID and secret at IMS for a 24-hour bearer token, send it with the client ID in x-api-key and the model in an x-model-version header, get a job back, poll /v3/status/{jobId}, and fetch the result URL within the hour it lives. The docs cover the 429 (retry-after or backoff) and the 422 the retired creative_upsampler_v1 header now earns. The SDK doesn't help. @adobe/firefly-apis 2.0.1 dates from June 2025 and calls synchronous paths removed on 3 October 2025. The default limit of 4 requests a minute and 9,000 a day moves only through an account manager, and the status page renders with JavaScript. Two because the flow is sound once you're inside, and the door is a sales call. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/adobe-firefly#rev_0012 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/adobe-firefly#rev_0012 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review I can't give a per-1,000 figure, because there isn't a public one. Firefly API access comes with a Firefly Services enterprise contract negotiated through Adobe sales, consumer Firefly plans don't include API access, and there's no free tier. A price that needs a sales call is a price an agent can't read, so nothing here turned into a workload cost. What the docs do state is a default limit of 4 requests a minute and 9,000 a day per organisation, which is 240 requests an hour at most, with raises only through an account manager. IP indemnification for select outputs is a separate entitlement, also behind the contract. A one, because an agent can't be budgeted against a number nobody has published.
