Midjourney API Integration for Image Generation

Midjourney integration for image generation

Midjourney doesn't offer an official REST API—only a Discord interface. However, there are approaches for business automation: an unofficial API proxy, Discord Bot automation, and alternatives of comparable quality.

Unofficial API via Discord automation

import asyncio
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import httpx

class MidjourneyProxy:
    """
    Использует Discord User Token для взаимодействия с Midjourney Bot.
    Внимание: нарушает ToS Discord — только для приватных/тестовых серверов.
    """

    def __init__(self, discord_token: str, channel_id: int):
        self.token = discord_token
        self.channel_id = channel_id
        self.base_url = "https://discord.com/api/v10"

    async def imagine(self, prompt: str) -> str:
        """Отправляем команду /imagine и ждём результат"""
        # Отправляем slash-command через API
        async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
            response = await client.post(
                f"{self.base_url}/interactions",
                headers={"Authorization": self.token},
                json={
                    "type": 2,
                    "application_id": "936929561302675456",  # Midjourney App ID
                    "channel_id": str(self.channel_id),
                    "data": {
                        "id": "938956540159881230",
                        "name": "imagine",
                        "options": [{"name": "prompt", "value": prompt}]
                    }
                }
            )

        # Polling результата (Midjourney занимает 30–120 сек)
        return await self.poll_for_result(prompt, timeout=180)

Official alternatives with API

For production, services with a real API are recommended:

# FLUX.1 Pro через Replicate — сравнимое с MJ качество
import replicate

async def generate_flux_pro(prompt: str) -> str:
    output = await replicate.async_run(
        "black-forest-labs/flux-pro",
        input={"prompt": prompt, "aspect_ratio": "1:1", "output_format": "png"}
    )
    return str(output)

# Ideogram — сильный в тексте на изображениях
async def generate_ideogram(prompt: str, api_key: str) -> bytes:
    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
        response = await client.post(
            "https://api.ideogram.ai/generate",
            headers={"Api-Key": api_key},
            json={
                "image_request": {
                    "prompt": prompt,
                    "aspect_ratio": "ASPECT_1_1",
                    "model": "V_2",
                    "magic_prompt_option": "AUTO"
                }
            }
        )
    return response.json()["data"][0]["url"]

Prompt Strategies for Midjourney

# Художественный стиль
"portrait of {subject}, oil painting style, renaissance lighting, --ar 3:4 --stylize 750"

# Архитектура
"modern minimalist house, aerial view, surrounded by nature, golden hour, --ar 16:9 --v 6"

# Продуктовая съёмка
"luxury watch on marble surface, studio lighting, macro photography, ultra detailed --v 6 --q 2"

# Параметры версии 6:
# --ar ratio  - соотношение сторон
# --stylize N - стилизация (0-1000)
# --v 6       - версия модели
# --q 2       - качество (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2)
# --chaos N   - случайность (0-100)

Selecting a tool for the task

Midjourney is suitable for manual production of high-quality content. For automation and API integrations, use FLUX.1 or DALL-E 3. FLUX/DALL-E API integration times are 1–3 days.
