## Overview

Images endpoints

### Available Operations

* [generate](#generate) - Generate an image
* [listModels](#listmodels) - List image generation models
* [listModelEndpoints](#listmodelendpoints) - List endpoints for an image model

## generate

Generates an image from a text prompt via the image generation router

### Example Usage

```typescript theme={null}
import { OpenRouter } from "@openrouter/sdk";

const openRouter = new OpenRouter({
  httpReferer: "<value>",
  appTitle: "<value>",
  appCategories: "<value>",
  apiKey: process.env["OPENROUTER_API_KEY"] ?? "",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await openRouter.images.generate({
    imageGenerationRequest: {
      model: "bytedance-seed/seedream-4.5",
      prompt: "a red panda astronaut floating in space, studio lighting",
    },
  });

  console.log(result);
}

run();
```

### Standalone function

The standalone function version of this method:

```typescript theme={null}
import { OpenRouterCore } from "@openrouter/sdk/core.js";
import { imagesGenerate } from "@openrouter/sdk/funcs/imagesGenerate.js";

// Use `OpenRouterCore` for best tree-shaking performance.
// You can create one instance of it to use across an application.
const openRouter = new OpenRouterCore({
  httpReferer: "<value>",
  appTitle: "<value>",
  appCategories: "<value>",
  apiKey: process.env["OPENROUTER_API_KEY"] ?? "",
});

async function run() {
  const res = await imagesGenerate(openRouter, {
    imageGenerationRequest: {
      model: "bytedance-seed/seedream-4.5",
      prompt: "a red panda astronaut floating in space, studio lighting",
