Quickstart

# The image comes back as a data: URI on message.images, not as text.
URL=$(curl -s https://api.hormouz.net/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ng-YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "google/gemini-nano-banana-2.1",
    "modalities": ["image", "text"],
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "A red apple on a wooden table"}]
  }' | jq -r '.choices[0].message.images[0].image_url.url')

# Take the extension from the URI itself — this model may answer png or jpeg.
EXT=$(printf '%s' "$URL" | sed -n 's|^data:image/\([a-z]*\);.*|\1|p')
printf '%s' "$URL" | sed 's/^data:[^,]*,//' | base64 -d > "output.${EXT:-png}"
