Authentication

export WAVESPEED_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Get your API key at wavespeed.ai/accesskey.

Quick Start

Text-to-Image

import wavespeed from 'wavespeed';

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "google/nano-banana-2/text-to-image",
  { prompt: "A serene Japanese garden with cherry blossoms, watercolor style" }
))["outputs"][0];

Image Editing

The images parameter accepts an array of image URLs. If you have local files, upload them first with wavespeed.upload() to get a URL.

import wavespeed from 'wavespeed';

// Upload a local image to get a URL
const imageUrl = await wavespeed.upload("/path/to/photo.png");

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "google/nano-banana-2/edit",
  {
    images: [imageUrl],
    prompt: "Replace the sky with a dramatic sunset"
  }
))["outputs"][0];

You can also pass existing image URLs directly:

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "google/nano-banana-2/edit",
  {
    images: ["https://example.com/photo.jpg"],
    prompt: "Replace the sky with a dramatic sunset"
  }
))["outputs"][0];

Image Editing

Model ID: google/nano-banana-2/edit

Edit existing images using natural language prompts. Supports up to 14 input images.

Parameters

Example

import wavespeed from 'wavespeed';

// Upload local images first, or use existing URLs
const imageUrl = await wavespeed.upload("/path/to/living-room.png");

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "google/nano-banana-2/edit",
  {
    images: [imageUrl],
    prompt: "Change the wall color to warm terracotta and add indoor plants",
    aspect_ratio: "16:9",

const faceUrl = await wavespeed.upload("/path/to/face.png");
const hairstyleUrl = await wavespeed.upload("/path/to/hairstyle.png");

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "google/nano-banana-2/edit",
  {
    images: [faceUrl, hairstyleUrl],
    prompt: "Apply the hairstyle from the second image to the person in the first image"
  }
))["outputs"][0];

Advanced Usage

Sync Mode

Use sync mode for a single request that waits for the result without polling:

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "google/nano-banana-2/text-to-image",
  { prompt: "A minimalist logo for a coffee shop" },
  { enableSyncMode: true }
))["outputs"][0];

Custom Client with Retry Configuration

import { Client } from 'wavespeed';

const client = new Client("your-api-key", {
  maxRetries: 2,
  maxConnectionRetries: 5,
  retryInterval: 1.0,
});

const output_url = (await client.run(
  "google/nano-banana-2/text-to-image",
  { prompt: "A futuristic cityscape at dusk" }
))["outputs"][0];

Error Handling with runNoThrow

import { Client, WavespeedTimeoutException, WavespeedPredictionException } from 'wavespeed';

const client = new Client();
const result = await client.runNoThrow(
  "google/nano-banana-2/text-to-image",
  { prompt: "A cat wearing a top hat" }
);

if (result.outputs) {
  console.log("Image URL:", result.outputs[0]);
  console.log("Task ID:", result.detail.taskId);
} else {
  console.log("Failed:", result.detail.error.message);
  if (result.detail.error instanceof WavespeedTimeoutException) {
    console.log("Request timed out - try increasing timeout");
  } else if (result.detail.error instanceof WavespeedPredictionException) {
    console.log("Model prediction failed");
  }
}

Resolution and Pricing

Prompt Tips

• Be specific and descriptive: "A red vintage Porsche 911 on a winding mountain road at golden hour" vs "a car"
• Include style keywords: "digital art", "oil painting", "photorealistic", "watercolor", "cinematic"
• For edits, clearly describe the desired change: "Replace the sky with a dramatic sunset"
• For multi-image edits, reference images by position: "Apply the style from the second image to the first image"
• Leverage multilingual text rendering: the model supports on-image text with automatic translation
• Use camera-style control language: "shallow depth of field", "wide angle", "top-down view"

Security Constraints

• No arbitrary URL loading: Only use image URLs from trusted sources. Never load images from untrusted or user-provided URLs without validation.
• API key security: Store your WAVESPEED_API_KEY securely. Do not hardcode it in source files or commit it to version control. Use environment variables or secret management systems.
• Input validation: Only pass parameters documented above. Validate prompt content and image URLs before sending requests.
