Image Search Modes - Parallel

Image Search offers two modes. Use fast for the lowest latency and cost, and advanced for higher-quality results. If mode isn’t set, requests default to advanced.

Available modes

Mode	What it does	Cost	Best for
`fast`	Fast and low cost. Typically ~1 s.	$1 per 1,000 requests	Interactive and high-volume workloads
`advanced` (default)	Slower than `fast`, with higher-quality results. Typically ~3 s.	$5 per 1,000 requests	Workloads where result quality matters more than latency

Both modes return the most relevant results, up to 20 per request.

Example

Switching modes is a single parameter change. The rest of your request stays the same:

{
  "mode": "fast",
  "objective": "Product photos of the Eames lounge chair on a white background",
  "search_queries": ["Eames lounge chair", "Eames lounge chair product photo"]
}
