API platform features

Qwen API features for reliable integrations

Move from a first request to a maintained integration with a consistent contract, documented costs, and explicit model availability.

Credit costs

One key and base URL

Use one Qwen API credential and a consistent HTTPS surface instead of maintaining separate authentication for every live model.

View documentation

Documented async tasks

Submit a generation, retain the returned task ID, and retrieve progress, outputs, or structured errors through one status route.

View API reference

Honest model availability

Live and preview labels keep callable routes separate from roadmap entries, while model pages expose inputs and current credit costs.

Optional playground

API Playground

Use the Qwen API playground to validate a live image route after you create a key.

How to use Qwen API

How to use Qwen API in three steps

Qwen API uses one documented asynchronous flow across available image models, while each model page explains its accepted fields.

View API docs
  1. 01

    Create a Qwen API key

    Create an API key for your account and keep the Bearer token on your server.

  2. 02

    Send a Qwen API request

    Choose an available model and send its documented JSON fields to the generation endpoint.

  3. 03

    Check the Qwen API result

    Use the task ID to check progress, then read the final output URL or structured error.

Developer review criteria

What developers look for in Qwen API

Three practical priorities for teams evaluating an image API for a real product workflow.

Product engineers

Ship one server-side integration, then compare available image models without rebuilding authentication and task handling.

Creative product teams

Match generation, editing, multi-angle, or layered-image capabilities to a feature before committing production traffic.

Platform teams

Keep keys off the client, track asynchronous work by task ID, and plan usage with published credit costs.

Questions and answers

Qwen API questions, answered

Direct answers about model coverage, authentication, asynchronous requests, and usage costs.

View API docs

Is Qwen API available for every Qwen model?

The live catalog currently lists five callable image models. Preview entries describe planned coverage, but they cannot be called or billed until a production route is ready.

How do I authenticate a Qwen API request?

Create an account key and send it from your server in the Authorization header as a Bearer token. Never expose the key in browser code or a public repository.

Does Qwen API return images synchronously?

Generation is asynchronous. A successful submission returns a task ID; poll the documented status endpoint with the same key to retrieve progress and output URLs.

How is API usage priced?

Each live model publishes its current credit cost. Accepted requests are metered by the production backend, while preview models remain unavailable and unpriced.

Start building with Qwen API

Create a Qwen API key, compare available models and credit costs, then integrate the documented endpoint into your application.
