# Ideogram v4.0q instant

Needs prompt. Served by fal.ai.

V4.0q [instant], served by fal.ai. The OpenAPI schema for the ideogram/v4/instant queue. Price: Your request will cost $0.0075 per megapixel. For example, a 2048 x 2048 image will cost $0.03. Conservative reservation covers 2048 x 2048 pixels per requested image. The explicit image_size sent upstream enforces this local dimension window (Fal x-fal maximum when present); auto source sizing is excluded. Actual megapixel cost settles from the receipt. Queued execution; final USD charge comes from the unique billing event matching this exact endpoint and request_id. A missing receipt retains the reservation; no guessed final fee. Asynchronous: returns a request_id; poll fal/status and fetch fal/result with model "ideogram/v4" and that request_id. Billed once, when the result is ready; a generation that fails is refunded.

## Published example

This is the provider tool’s published example. Replace example values with the user’s requested inputs, respecting the schema; do not execute an example merely to test a connection.


```json
{
  "tool_id": "fal/ideogram-v4-instant",
  "input": {
    "prompt": "A red panda perched on a mossy branch in a misty forest at sunrise"
  }
}
```

## Execute and retrieve

Inspect again before execution, explain the price and obtain the required authority. Use MCP run_tool or POST /v1/run with this tool ID, valid input and an idempotency key. Save the returned run ID and follow the actual state. If Agentik answers that the tool is temporarily unavailable, do not retry it blindly; use discovery to propose an alternative.

This tool uses deferred settlement. Follow its returned task/run instructions; preserve the existing reservation until the result is reconciled.

A partial or uncertain result can still have consumed provider resources. Consult [billing](/docs/billing.md), [idempotency](/docs/idempotency.md) and [asynchronous results](/docs/async.md).
