# 2. poll until the image is ready
GET /api/ai/jobs/{id}

Ideogram Character: the questions people ask

Does Ideogram Character have an API?

Yes. On SamAutomation Ideogram Character runs through one endpoint - POST /api/ai/jobs with model_id "ideogram-character" - so you do not need a separate account or key with Ideogram. You submit a job and poll it until the image is ready.

How much does Ideogram Character cost?

Ideogram Character starts at 24 credits per job at its cheapest settings. Longer clips, higher resolution and extra options cost more. Credits come with a plan, and the same key also covers JSON-to-video rendering and every other model.

Is Ideogram Character free?

No. Generation burns real GPU time, so every render costs credits - 24 at the floor for Ideogram Character. Anything advertising unlimited free generation is either putting you behind a long queue or watermarking the result. Plans bundle monthly credits instead.

Is Ideogram Character restricted or region-locked?

You reach Ideogram Character through this API with your SamAutomation key, not through Ideogram's own app, so that app's sign-up and regional availability are not what gates you. The model's own content rules still apply to what you generate.

Where is the official Ideogram Character site?

Ideogram publishes the model itself; this page is about calling it as an API alongside every other model on one key, which is a different job from their consumer app.

Where is the Ideogram Character API documentation, and is there a download?

There is nothing to download. The Ideogram Character API documentation you need here is our own reference: one endpoint, one key, and the model_id above. Ideogram publishes its own docs for the model, but those describe their platform, not this one.

Is Ideogram Character available right now?

If it is listed on this page it is active on the platform and you can call it today. Model availability moves — makers retire versions and add tiers — so the list here is the current state rather than a promise about next quarter.

Is there a Ideogram Character SDK, GitHub repo or Python example?

You do not need a vendor SDK here. Ideogram Character is an HTTP call: POST /api/ai/jobs with your key and model_id "ideogram-character", then poll the job. Any language that can send JSON can drive it, and the request shape is the same for every model on this platform.

Is Ideogram Character safe to use, and what happens to my input?

The practical questions are the same for every generation service: what the provider may do with what you upload, how long it is kept, and whether it can be used for training. Read that clause before you send client material through any model, ours included. Ideogram publishes its own terms for the model itself.

Are the Ideogram Character weights open source or on Hugging Face?

That is up to Ideogram, not to us, and it differs per model and per release. If open weights matter to you, check the maker's own licence. Running it here is renting inference, not getting the weights.

Do I need the Ideogram Character app to use it?

No. The consumer app and the API are separate products with separate limits. Here you call Ideogram Character through this platform, so there is no app to install and no second subscription.

What is Ideogram Character good at?

Keep one character consistent across images from a single reference. Pick it when that is the job; a cheaper model wins when it is not.
