Parameters (field input)

Example

curl -X POST https://mixmedia.tech/api/v1/jobs/createTask \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"gemini-4-argon","input":{"prompt":"Explain in simple words why the sky is blue","reasoning":"low"}}'

import os, requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://mixmedia.tech/api/v1/jobs/createTask",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['API_KEY']}"},
    json={
      "model": "gemini-4-argon",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "Explain in simple words why the sky is blue",
        "reasoning": "low"
      }
    },
)
print(r.json())  # {"code": 200, "data": {"taskId": "..."}}

const r = await fetch("https://mixmedia.tech/api/v1/jobs/createTask", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.API_KEY}`, "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "model": "gemini-4-argon",
    "input": {
      "prompt": "Explain in simple words why the sky is blue",
      "reasoning": "low"
    }
  }),
});
console.log(await r.json()); // { code: 200, data: { taskId: "..." } }

#Price: per token

This is Google's official introductory price through 30.11.2026; from 01.12.2026 — $4 / 1M input and $20 / 1M output.

• Tokens are estimated on our side by Google's rules: text ≈ 4 characters per token (rounded up), each attached picture = 560 tokens. The model service does not report exact usage, so the numbers may differ slightly from Google's counter.
• Input tokens = prompt + pictures; output tokens = the length of the answer. Hidden model thinking is not visible to us and is not charged.
• Cost = input × input price / 1M + output × output price / 1M, rounded up to $0.0001.
• On create, the cost of the input and 16384 output tokens is held (an answer never costs more than that). When the answer is ready the actual amount is charged and the rest is returned at once. A failed task returns the whole reserve.
• recordInfo and the callback return usage: input_tokens, output_tokens, total_tokens, cost (USD), estimated: true.

Example: a 400-character question (100 tokens) and a 4,000-character answer (1,000 tokens) = 100 × $2/1M + 1 000 × $10/1M = $0.0102.

#Result

Same as any task: call recordInfo or receive a callback. The answer is in resultJson.text, token usage and the charge are in usage (input_tokens, output_tokens, cost).

Upload your photos via files/upload or pass any public https links.

#Error handling

API responses are JSON {"code", "msg", "data"}; errors also have a string error field (type). On /api/v1/* the HTTP status matches body code.
