What is CogView-4?

CogView-4 is a CogView image model from Zhipu AI for text-to-image generation and image editing. On Crazyrouter it shares an API key and balance with chat, video and audio models, so image generation slots into an existing integration without a second vendor account.

OpenAI images schema

Same request and response shape as the OpenAI Images API; existing client code keeps working.

Per-image billing

You are charged per generated image at the rate on this page, nothing else.

Reference images

Where the upstream model supports it, pass reference images for editing and style transfer.

One key, all modalities

Mix image generation with chat, video and music models under one balance.

CogView-4 API quickstart

POST to https://api.crazyrouter.com/v1/images/generations with model cogview-4. The response follows the OpenAI images schema (URL or base64).

cURL
curl https://api.crazyrouter.com/v1/images/generations \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CRAZYROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "cogview-4",
    "prompt": "Product photo of a matte ceramic coffee mug on a light oak desk, soft morning window light, shallow depth of field, neutral background, commercial photography",
    "n": 1,
    "size": "1536x1024"
  }'
