REST API

Quick Start

This flow submits one valid Ideogram Vector 1.0 Image to Vector request, captures its task_id, and reads result file URLs after the asynchronous task ends.

Connect to the Vidgo API

Create an API key, keep it on the server, and send it as Authorization: Bearer VIDGO_API_KEY.

Endpoint: POSThttps://api.vidgo.ai/api/generate/submit
Authentication: Authorization: Bearer VIDGO_API_KEY

Submit one task

Send the current model ID and an input object to the unified submit endpoint. input may only contain the fields listed for this endpoint; any other field returns 400.

Submit request

curl --request POST \
  --url "https://api.vidgo.ai/api/generate/submit" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $VIDGO_API_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{

    ]
  }
}'

Wait for the result

Read data.task_id and poll only while status is not_started or running. Stop on both finished and failed.

Track status

GET https://api.vidgo.ai/api/generate/status/{task_id}

Poll every 2–5 seconds and back off on 429/5xx. Or provide top-level callback_url to receive a terminal-state callback.

Request Parameters

This table lists only public fields inside input. See Quick Start for top-level model and optional callback_url usage.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
input.image_urls	string[]	Yes	–	Exactly one raster image as an array with one public HTTP(S) URL or image data URI.
input.mode	string	No	default	default keeps finer detail; simple produces fewer, cleaner shapes.

Response Fields

The submit response identifies the task. The status response supplies result files or failure details at a terminal state.

Field	Type	Description
code	integer	Business response code; 0 or 200 indicates success.
message	string	Optional human-readable response message.
data.task_id	string	Unique task ID used for status queries after submission.
data.status	string	not_started, running, finished, or failed.
data.created_time	string	Task creation timestamp.
data.progress	integer	Progress from 0–100 in status responses.
data.files[]	array	Generated files in returned order when finished.
data.files[].file_url	string	Direct URL of the generated file (.svg).

data.error_message	string \| null	Readable failure reason for failed tasks.

Task Lifecycle

Only the first two states may be polled again. finished and failed are terminal.

Ideogram Vector 1.0 Image to Vector

Ideogram Vector 1.0 Image to Vector is the vectorization endpoint of Ideogram's first vector model. It takes exactly one image and no prompt, and returns an SVG file built from vector shapes. Choose default to keep finer detail or simple for cleaner, fewer shapes suited to cutting machines and hand editing. Every request costs a flat 20 credits, whichever mode you choose.

Why Choose Ideogram Vector 1.0 Image to Vector?

Raster to SVG in one callSend a single image URL and receive an .svg file that scales without pixelation.
Two vectorization stylesdefault keeps finer detail for illustrations; simple reduces the shape count for plotters, vinyl cutters and quick edits.
Flat, predictable priceEach request costs 20 credits ($0.10) regardless of mode or image content.
No prompt to tuneThe model works from the image alone, so batch conversions only need an image URL and a mode.

Parameters

Parameter	Requirement	Description
image_urls	Required	Exactly one raster image as an array with one public HTTP(S) URL or image data URI.
mode	Optional	default keeps finer detail; simple produces fewer, cleaner shapes. Default`defaultsimple`

How to Use

Choose the imageUse one clear raster such as a logo scan, sketch or illustration, ideally on a plain background.
Pick a modeUse default for detailed artwork or simple for cut files and minimal marks.
Submit the taskSend model ideogram/vector-1.0/image-to-vector with image_urls and mode, and keep the task_id.
Download the SVGPoll the status endpoint or use callback_url, then download the .svg URL from files.

Usage and Pricing

A flat price per request; each request returns one SVG. 1 credit = $0.005.

Credits are reserved on submission and refunded in full if the task fails.

Usage and Pricing
Option	Credits / SVG	USD / SVG
default or simple	20	$0.10

Best Use Cases

Rescuing legacy logosTurn an old PNG or JPG logo into an SVG for brand kits, signage and print.
Cut files for craftersUse simple mode to prepare shapes for vinyl cutters, plotters and laser engravers.
Sketch to vectorVectorize hand-drawn line art so it can be recoloured and resized in a design tool.
Batch asset conversionConvert a library of raster icons into SVG through the API with one request per image.

Pro Tips

Crop to the subject and use a plain, high-contrast background for cleaner shapes.
Start with simple for logos and icons; switch to default when gradients or fine detail matter.
Run both modes on the same image to compare file complexity before choosing one for a batch.
Use Text to Vector instead when you want new artwork rather than a conversion.

Notes

This endpoint takes no prompt. Sending prompt, quality, n or size returns 400.
image_urls must contain exactly one image.
The output is an SVG file URL with content type image/svg+xml.
