Integration and Use of Midjourney Tasks API

The main function of the Midjourney Tasks API is to query the execution status of tasks by inputting the task ID generated by the Midjourney Imagine API or Midjourney Describe API.

This document will provide detailed integration instructions for the Midjourney Tasks API, helping you easily integrate and fully utilize the powerful features of this API. With the Midjourney Tasks API, you can easily query the execution status of tasks from the Midjourney Imagine API or Midjourney Describe API.

Application Process

To use Midjourney Imagine API, first open the Ace Data Cloud Console and copy your API Token.

If you are not logged in, you will be redirected to sign in and brought back to this page automatically.

A single API Token works across every service on the platform — no need to subscribe per service. New accounts receive free starter credit; when it runs low you can top up your shared balance in the console.

Request Example

The Midjourney Tasks API can be used to query the results of both the Midjourney Imagine API and the Midjourney Describe API. For information on how to use the Midjourney Imagine API, please refer to the documentation Midjourney Imagine API. For information on how to use the Midjourney Describe API, please refer to Midjourney Describe API.

We will take a task ID returned by the Midjourney Imagine API as an example to demonstrate how to use this API. Suppose we have a task ID: 7489df4c-ef03-4de0-b598-e9a590793434, and we will demonstrate how to pass in a task ID.

Setting Request Headers and Request Body

Request Headers include:

  • accept: Specifies that the response should be in JSON format, set to application/json.
  • authorization: The key to call the API, which can be selected directly after application.

Request Body includes:

  • id: The uploaded task ID.
  • ids: An array of task IDs for batch queries.
  • action: The operation method for the task, supporting retrieve (single query) and retrieve_batch (batch query).

Set as shown in the image below:

Code Example

It can be seen that various language codes have been automatically generated on the right side of the page, as shown in the image:

Some code examples are as follows:

CURL

curl -X POST 'https://api.acedata.cloud/midjourney/tasks' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'authorization: Bearer {token}' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{
  "id": "7489df4c-ef03-4de0-b598-e9a590793434",
  "action": "retrieve"
}'

Python

import requests

url = "https://api.acedata.cloud/midjourney/tasks"

headers = {
    "accept": "application/json",
    "authorization": "Bearer {token}",
    "content-type": "application/json"
}

payload = {
    "id": "7489df4c-ef03-4de0-b598-e9a590793434",
    "action": "retrieve"
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
print(response.text)

Response Example

Upon successful request, the API will return the detailed information of the image task. For example:

}

The returned result contains multiple fields, with the request field being the request body when the task was initiated, and the response field being the response body returned after the task is completed. If type = imagine, the result is consistent with the request and return of the Midjourney Imagine API; if type = describe, the result is consistent with the request and return of the Midjourney Describe API. The field descriptions are as follows.

  • id: The ID of the image generation task, used to uniquely identify this image generation task.
  • type: If type = imagine, it represents the result of the Midjourney Imagine API; if type = describe, it represents the result of the Midjourney Describe API.
  • job_id: The ID of the image query task generated this time, used to uniquely identify this image query task.
  • image_id: The unique identifier of the image task being queried, which needs to be passed when performing transformation operations on the image next time.
  • request: The request information in the image query task.
  • response: The return information in the image query task.

Batch Query Operation

This is for querying the details of multiple task IDs, and unlike the above, the action needs to be selected as retrieve_batch.

Request Body includes:

  • ids: An array of uploaded task IDs.
  • action: The operation method for the task.
