mjapi

I needed a really simple API that could generate images, i.e. prompt in -> an upscaled image out, no intermediary steps for variations, or upscales. But what started as a personal need ended up as a micro-SaaS. I'm working on a hobby-ish project for video generation on various topics, which needs several beautiful images on various topics, thus my incentive to make this API. I chose MidJourney because it seems to generate consistently good-looking images, but more importantly, it can generate 16:9 images. I was previously using DALLE2, but it could only do 1:1 aspect ratio at that time and it returned weird stuff more often than MJ, so I dropped it. I might SaaS this video generation tool too when it's ready, but it's a long way. The system is pretty basic as it focuses heavily on functionality and ease of use. You basically create a SelfServe account and can generate images right away if you already have a MJ sub (I recommend using a different discord account for this). You get 1 day of some free usage and can extend via a PayPal, Stripe and even QR-based BTC/Lightning. The "Fairy" account type works without a discord account, though this should only be used for testing/getting used to the API -- we're not in the business of reselling MJs API, but providing an API for your own account. Tech stack for nerds: Python (simple http server, Discord API), certbot, SQLite, PayPal SDK, Stripe Rest, voltage.cloud (BTCPay, Lightning), Google Cloud (Compute, Storage), HTML/CSS/Javascript, Angular, Docker for the accounts, MobaXTerm (lifesaver), Proxmox, Ubuntu Server at home, Debian on GCP
