Flux 2 Flash: Realistic Text-to-Image & Precise Visual Editing on playground and API | RunComfy

blackforestlabs/flux-2/flash/text-to-image

Generate realistic images and refined design edits from text or image prompts with precise multi-reference control, fast rendering, and consistent quality for product, marketing, and UI visuals.

1. Get started

Use RunComfy's API to run blackforestlabs/flux-2/flash/text-to-image. For accepted inputs and outputs, see the model's schema.

curl --request POST \
  --url https://model-api.runcomfy.net/v1/models/blackforestlabs/flux-2/flash/text-to-image \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  --data '{
    "prompt": "A photorealistic still life scene featuring a large bundle of fully bloomed, soft yellow-orange English garden roses with lush, layered petals arranged in a clear cylindrical glass vase filled with water. The vase is placed on a slightly wrinkled black cloth-covered table. A human hand with medium skin tone is gently grasping a glossy ceramic yellow cup beside the vase. The background consists of a moody, dimly lit wall with subtle texture and cracks, partially cast in shadow, creating a softly dramatic atmosphere. The lighting is natural and low-key, coming from the left side, casting gentle highlights and shadows across the flowers and vase. The person in the frame is dressed in a black top and is mostly cropped out of the image. Dark, modern aesthetic with warm and muted tones, shallow depth of field. Shot from a close-up, eye-level angle. Style is cinematic and atmospheric, in 8k ultra high-resolution, photorealistic, unreal engine rendering quality."
  }'

2. Authentication

Set the YOUR_API_TOKEN environment variable with your API key (manage keys in your Profile) and include it on every request as a Bearer token via the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer $YOUR_API_TOKEN.

3. API reference

Submit a request

Submit an asynchronous generation job and immediately receive a request_id plus URLs to check status, fetch results, and cancel.

curl --request POST \

  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  --data '{

Monitor request status

Fetch the current state for a request_id ("in_queue", "in_progress", "completed", or "cancelled").

curl --request GET \
  --url https://model-api.runcomfy.net/v1/requests/{request_id}/status \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

Retrieve request results

Retrieve the final outputs and metadata for the given request_id; if the job is not complete, the response returns the current state so you can continue polling.

curl --request GET \
  --url https://model-api.runcomfy.net/v1/requests/{request_id}/result \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

Cancel a request

Cancel a queued job by request_id, in-progress jobs cannot be cancelled.

curl --request POST \
  --url https://model-api.runcomfy.net/v1/requests/{request_id}/cancel \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

4. File inputs

Hosted file (URL)

Provide a publicly reachable HTTPS URL. Ensure the host allows server‑side fetches (no login/cookies required) and isn't rate‑limited or blocking bots. Recommended limits: images ≤ 50 MB (~4K), videos ≤ 100 MB (~2–5 min @ 720p). Prefer stable or pre‑signed URLs for private assets.
