## OpenAI DALL-E 3 API

Here are the official API parameters and response format:

Body

```json
{
    "model": "dall-e-3",
    "prompt": "A cute baby sea otter",
    "n": 1,
    "size": "1024x1024"
}
```

Response

```json
{
  "created": 1589478378,
  "data": [
    {
      "url": "https://..."
    },
    {
      "url": "https://..."
    }
  ]
}
```

## Workflow Design

1. Use AI to optimize the image generation prompt (skipped here — use your own prompt).
2. Use the `HTTP Request` module to call the DALL-E 3 API and retrieve the image URL.
3. Use the `Text Editor` module to construct a `Markdown` image tag.
4. Use the `Specified Reply` module to output the image link directly.

### 1. Build the HTTP Module

Copy the DALL-E 3 API request parameters and replace `prompt` with a variable. You also need to add a `Headers.Authorization` header.

Body:

```json
{
    "model": "dall-e-3",
    "prompt": "{{prompt}}",
    "n": 1,
    "size": "1024x1024"
}
```

Headers:

`Authorization: Bearer sk-xxx`

Response:

Extract the response value based on the DALL-E 3 API return format. Since we only generate one image, we just need the first image's URL. Add a custom output `data[0].url` to the HTTP module.

### 2. Text Editor — Build Image Link

In `Markdown` syntax, `![image description](image URL)` inserts an image, where the image URL comes from the `HTTP Request` module output.

Add an input to receive the image URL from the `HTTP Request` module, then reference it as a variable in the `Text Editor` module to produce a complete `Markdown` image tag.

### 3. Specified Reply

The Specified Reply module outputs incoming content directly to the client, so it can render the processed `Markdown` image format as-is.
