    "request_id": "4909100c-7b5a-9f92-bfe5-xxxxxx"
}

Step 2: Query the result by task ID

Use the task_id obtained in the previous step to poll the task status through the API until the task_status becomes SUCCEEDED or FAILED.

Replace {task_id} with the task_id value returned by the previous API call. The task_id is valid for queries for 24 hours.

Case 2: Visual design

plaintext
Image 1: A commercial-grade product photography main visual cover image, front-view panoramic composition. A pair of retro-futuristic wireless over-ear headphones floats above a geometric plaster form, showcasing perfect symmetrical aesthetics. The materials are champagne gold metal and a cream-white shell. The background is a deeply blurred warm indoor light and shadow, with soft light outlining the product's silhouette. The white space in the image creates a strong sense of breathability, suggesting a quiet auditory experience. 8k ultra-high resolution, minimalist and premium feel.
Image 2: A 100mm macro shot of the product's material details, focusing closely on the connection of the headphone's telescopic arm. It clearly shows the texture of the champagne gold brushed aluminum alloy and the CNC precision-cut chamfers. A sharp backlight creates a starburst highlight on the metal edge. The background is dark to emphasize the industrial precision of the metal. The image quality is extremely sharp with no noise.
Image 3: An extreme close-up macro shot of the material, focusing on the surface of the mocha-colored protein leather earcups. Side lighting reveals the fine pore texture of the leather, the soft wrinkles from pressing, and the ventilation hole details, conveying ultimate skin-friendly comfort and resilience. The light and shadow are rich in layers, and the color tone is warm and moist. Ultra-high-definition macro photography.
Image 4: An artistic exploded view of the product, showing the internal sound units, noise-canceling chips, battery modules, and external walnut wood decorative panels and metal frame of the retro-futuristic headphones in a suspended, disassembled state. The background is a deep tech blue, and the internal components have a semi-transparent holographic technological texture, emphasizing the combination of internal precision craftsmanship and modern technology. High-tech commercial poster style.
Image 5: A 35mm humanistic shot of the wearing scenario, with a close-up on the model's jawline and neck, showing the perfect fit of the champagne gold headphones. Natural warm sunset light from the side-rear creates a rim light, with the edges of the hair glowing gold. The model's skin tone has a healthy and natural texture, creating a relaxed, immersive music-listening lifestyle feel. The background is a blurry home environment.
Image 6: A still life photograph paying homage to architectural light and shadow. The headphones are placed on a minimalist gray concrete table. Afternoon sunlight streams through blinds, casting striped hard shadows that cut across the matte cream-white body and champagne gold frame, creating a strong geometric composition of light and dark. This highlights the three-dimensional shape of the body and the contrast of materials. A clash of cool and warm color tones, minimalist composition.
Image 7: A top-down flat-lay composition showing the color options. Three headphones from the series in different color schemes—silver-white, black-gold, and blue-copper—are arranged side by side. The background is a highly textured gray wool felt cloth. Soft top lighting emphasizes the diversity of the CMF design and the delicate touch of the materials. The image is clean and orderly, in a design magazine style.
Image 8: A brand lifestyle family portrait still life photograph. The retro-futuristic headphones are placed next to their matching exquisite leather case. On the table are a vinyl record player, a spinning vinyl record, and a cup of steaming coffee. The background is rendered with warm ambient lighting, dominated by a deep walnut wood tone, conveying a brand philosophy that combines a slow-paced lifestyle with high-fidelity sound quality. Cinematic narrative lighting.

Image input methods

Pass images using any of these methods:

Method 1: Public URL

  • Provide a publicly accessible HTTP or HTTPS image URL.

  • Example value: https://xxxx/img.png.

  • Use when images are hosted on OSS or a public image hosting service.

Method 2: Base64 encoding

Convert the image file to a Base64-encoded string and format it as: data:{MIME_type};base64,{base64_data}.

  • Example value: data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABDg...... ( This is a snippet due to length limitations ). When making a call, pass the complete string.

  • {base64_data}: The Base64-encoded string of the image file.

  • {MIME_type}: The media type of the image, which must correspond to the file format.

Image formatMIME Type
JPEGimage/jpeg
JPGimage/jpeg
PNGimage/png
BMPimage/bmp
WEBPimage/webp
  • Use for local, private, or encrypted image transmission.

Code example: Base64 encoding for an image

python
import os
import base64
import mimetypes

# The format is data:{mime_type};base64,{base64_data}
def encode_file(file_path):
    mime_type, _ = mimetypes.guess_type(file_path)
    with open(file_path, "rb") as image_file:
        encoded_string = base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode('utf-8')
    return f"data:{mime_type};base64,{encoded_string}"

# Call the encoding function. Replace "/path/to/your/image.png" with the path to your local image file, otherwise the code will not run.
image = encode_file("/path/to/your/image.png")

Method 3: Local file path (SDK only)

  • Python SDK: Supports both absolute and relative paths. The file path rules are as follows:
SystemInput file pathExample (absolute path)Example (relative path)
Linux or macOSfile://file:///home/images/test.pngfile://./images/test.png
Windowsfile://D:/images/test.pngfile://./images/test.png
  • Java SDK: Supports only the absolute path. The file path rules are as follows:
SystemInput file pathExample (absolute path)
Linux or macOSfile://file:///home/images/test.png
Windowsfile:///file:///D:/images/test.png
  • Use for quick testing in local development.

Method 2: Specify the width and height pixel values of the generated image - The total pixels are between 768*768 and 2048*2048, with an aspect ratio range of [1:4, 4:1]. > The actual output image pixel values will be the closest multiple of 16 to the specified value.Only supports specifying the width and height pixel values of the generated image - The total pixels are between 768*768 and 1280*1280, with an aspect ratio range of [1:4, 4:1]. - If size is not specified, the system will default to generating an image with a total pixel count of 1280*1280, with the aspect ratio matching the last input image.

4. Interactive precise editing

Use parameters.bbox_list to select specific regions for editing. Only supported by wan2.7-image-pro and wan2.7-image.

  • List length: Must match the number of input images. Use an empty list [] for images that don't require editing.

  • Coordinate format: [x1, y1, x2, y2] (top-left x, top-left y, bottom-right x, bottom-right y). Coordinates are absolute pixel values with origin (0, 0) at top-left, x-axis right, y-axis down.

  • Quantity limit: A maximum of 2 bounding boxes per image.

Example: 3 input images where image 1 has two bounding boxes and image 2 has none

json
[\
  [[0, 0, 12, 12], [25, 25, 100, 100]],  # Image 1 (2 boxes)\
  [],                                    # Image 2 (no box)\
  [[10, 10, 50, 50]]                    # Image 3 (1 box)\

How to determine editing region coordinates

Method 1: Draw bounding boxes with OpenCV

Draw bounding boxes by dragging the mouse on the image for precise and intuitive selection:

python
# Install dependencies: pip install opencv-python
import cv2
import urllib.request

# Download a sample image (replace with your own image URL or local path)
image_url = "https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i3/O1CN01SfG4J41UYn9WNt4X1_!!6000000002530-49-tps-1696-960.webp"
urllib.request.urlretrieve(image_url, "example.webp")

# Read the image and open an interactive window
img = cv2.imread("example.webp")
# Drag the mouse in the pop-up window to draw a box. Press Enter to confirm, press Esc to cancel
x, y, w, h = cv2.selectROI("Draw bounding box (Enter=confirm, Esc=cancel)", img)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

# Convert the (x, y, w, h) returned by OpenCV to the [x1, y1, x2, y2] format required by bbox_list
# Coordinate system: origin at the top-left corner, x-axis points right, y-axis points down, unit is pixels
bbox = [x, y, x + w, y + h]
print(f"Bounding box coordinates: {bbox}")  # Pass these coordinates to parameters.bbox_list

Method 2: Visual understanding model

Use qwen3.6-plus to automatically identify target region coordinates by describing the target in natural language:

python
# Install dependencies: pip install dashscope pillow
import os
import json
from dashscope import MultiModalConversation
import dashscope
from PIL import Image
import urllib.request

# The following URL is for the Singapore region. Replace WorkspaceId with your actual workspace ID. URLs differ by region.
dashscope.base_http_api_url = "https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1"

def get_bbox_list(image, prompt):
    """
    Identify target regions in an image using qwen3.6-plus and return absolute pixel coordinates.

    Args:
        image: Image URL or local path (local path format: "file:///absolute/path.png")
        prompt: Natural language description, e.g., "coffee cup", "all fruits on the plate", "the fruit in the center of the plate"

    Returns:
        [[x1, y1, x2, y2], ...] Absolute pixel coordinates that can be passed directly to bbox_list
    """
    # Concatenate user description with return format instructions
    full_prompt = (
        prompt + "\n"
        "Based on the description above, return the coordinates of the corresponding region.\n"
        "Return a maximum of 2 regions, prioritizing the most matching target.\n"
        "Strictly follow the JSON 2D list format: [[x1, y1, x2, y2], ...]\n"
        "Each set of coordinates: [top-left x, top-left y, bottom-right x, bottom-right y]\n"
        "Use absolute pixel coordinates of the original image, with (0,0) at the top-left corner, x-axis pointing right, y-axis pointing down.\n"
        "If there is only one region, you must still use a 2D list: [[x1, y1, x2, y2]]\n"
        "Only return the JSON list, do not return any other content."
    )

    messages = [\
        {'role': 'user',\
         'content': [\
             {'image': image},\
             {'text': full_prompt}\
         ]}\
    ]

    response = MultiModalConversation.call(
        api_key=os.getenv('DASHSCOPE_API_KEY'),
        model='qwen3.6-plus',
        messages=messages,
    )

    text = response.output.choices[0].message.content[0]["text"]
    text = text.replace("```json", "").replace("```", "").strip()
    coords = json.loads(text)

    # Handle the case where the model returns a 1D list [x1,y1,x2,y2]
    if coords and not isinstance(coords[0], list):
        coords = [coords]

    # Get image dimensions for coordinate conversion
    if image.startswith("file://"):
        local_path = image[len("file://"):]
        img = Image.open(local_path)
    else:
        tmp_path = "temp_bbox_image"
        urllib.request.urlretrieve(image, tmp_path)
        img = Image.open(tmp_path)
    width, height = img.size

    # Convert model's normalized coordinates [0, 999] to absolute pixel coordinates
    bbox_list = []
    for box in coords:
        bbox_list.append([\
            int(box[0] / 1000 * width),\
            int(box[1] / 1000 * height),\
            int(box[2] / 1000 * width),\
            int(box[3] / 1000 * height)\
        ])

    return bbox_list

# === Usage examples ===
image_url = "https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i3/O1CN01ewUWhg1eS3VqJ3wap_!!6000000003869-49-tps-2048-2048.webp"

# Select target by name
bbox = get_bbox_list(image_url, "coffee cup")           # [[x1, y1, x2, y2]]

# Select target by position description
bbox = get_bbox_list(image_url, "the fruit in the center of the plate")  # [[x1, y1, x2, y2]]

# Describe a region
bbox = get_bbox_list(image_url, "lavender potted plant")

# Results can be used as elements in the bbox_list array
# Note: A maximum of 2 bounding boxes per image
