Modify an existing image according to text instructions: supply a source image (URL or base64) and a prompt describing the changes (e.g. "add clouds", "warmer color scheme"), with an optional reference_image for extra style or content guidance. Synchronous until September 10, 2026: the call blocks and returns an array of image results, each with a url; request n (1-4) to control the number of edited variations. Provided images are uploaded and validated, and any image larger than 15MB is rejected with HTTP 400. Credits are charged only on success, scaled to the number of images produced. Use editImage to transform a specific existing image; use createImage to generate from text alone, generateWithStyle to borrow a reference's art style, and removeBackground for the dedicated background-removal case. Pass an optional request_id to tag the results so you can retrieve them later via `GET /assets/images/results`. Requires an API key (user scope). Async is the intended integration pattern: pass `async: true` and the call returns 202 with a job id - poll `GET /assets/jobs/{id}` (`getApiJob` in MCP), honouring poll_after_ms or long-polling with wait=30, until status is succeeded, whose result field is exactly the response documented for this operation. Synchronous responses are deprecated: they remain the default until September 10, 2026, after which requests default to async and return 202 with a job id; set `async: false` explicitly to keep synchronous behavior during and after the transition. Synchronous calls run on the same queue: the response carries an X-Ludo-Job-Id header, and a job still running after 15 minutes comes back as 202 with the job instead of an error. Each account may have up to 50 generations queued or running at once via the API; a request beyond that returns 429 (code PENDING_JOBS_LIMIT).
