Alt text
Generate an alt text string, 1 to 160 characters, for an existing image.
POST /image/alt writes alt text for one image. There is no model field.
Mynth picks the model and keeps it current. The result is a string of 1 to
160 characters, written to be read aloud.
import Mynth from "@mynthio/sdk";
const mynth = new Mynth();
const result = await mynth.image.alt({ url: "https://cdn.example.com/lighthouse.png" });
console.log(result.alt);The body takes only url, a public http(s) image URL. The SDK also accepts a
file, and the CLI a local path. Both upload it first. The request does not
take webhook or metadata, and the response has no pat_ token.
The REST call returns a task. The task's result is:
{ "alt": "A white lighthouse on dark rocks, lit by an orange sunset sky" }A URL Mynth cannot fetch fails the task with FETCH_FAILED.
Price#
$0.0004 per image, charged only when the task succeeds. See pricing.

- Rate images: classify the same image instead of describing it.
- Review images: score it and list defects.
