Prerequisites
- An n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted).
- OpenAI API Key with access to DALL·E models.
- Understanding of how to construct a URL with query parameters.
Setup Instructions
- Download the n8n workflow JSON file (
ai-image-generation-api-v1.0.0.json). - Import the workflow into your n8n instance.
- Configure the 'OpenAI' node: select your OpenAI credentials (or create new ones using your API Key).
- Activate the workflow. The Webhook URL will be displayed in the 'Webhook' node's settings once the workflow is active.
- To use the API, copy the Production Webhook URL from the 'Webhook' node.
- Construct the full request URL: Append
?input=followed by your URL-encoded image prompt (e.g.,YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL?input=a%20futuristic%20cityscape%20at%20sunset). Remember to replace spaces in your prompt with%20. - Open this constructed URL in a web browser or use an HTTP client (like cURL or Postman) to trigger the image generation. The image will be returned directly in the response.
