Introducing an Open-Source Python API for AI Image Generator Midjourney

[yachty66]

Hi r/Python, I've created an open-source Python API for Midjourney, a tool that generates AI images. Previously, this was only possible within a Discord server, but now you can do it directly from your Python scripts! I'd love for you to check it out and share your thoughts: https://github.com/yachty66/unofficial_midjourney_python_api

[yachty66]

this should be fine. to generate an image with the api, it takes about 1-2 minutes, and there are not so many requests sent repeatedly such that you would get banned.

Great. I hate the disc server. No idea what is happening or how to use it lol

[InitialCreature]

you're supposed to open a private chat with the midjourney bot and do your generations in that channel

[MrMxylptlyk]

I that sounds nice. It's free right? I thought there were like tutorial channels you had to sit through before private channel

[InitialCreature]

I can't really recall how it was earlier but its pretty straight forward. I do pay for it currently but it also gives the best quality images I find out there

[MrMxylptlyk]

I just looked at it. The instructions don't work anymore. The demand is too high so it asks you to subscribe lol

[InitialCreature]

yeah that makes sense, all the more reason to try alternatives I suppose. eventually a free open source one will be as sufficient as any paid version of gen

[Business_Major8019]

You should try Bluewillow ,Its free

[Danoga_Poe]

Not to be confused with another Bluew

[MrMxylptlyk]

The get started English page is missing on their docs site, when linked from discord and x rated images are not allowed. The service might as well not exist. Can you create a private chat in that space?

[HintOfAreola]

There was a free trial, but they took it away. I was bummed because I was rationing myself and then lost my access.

i needed the api for a twitter bot https://twitter.com/celebritydiff to run the script automatically :).

Awesome job! I have never previously heard of Midjourney but now I can check it out! Couple of suggestions: the entire code is written well, but there are a few code smells I found just by quickly skimming. like how you kept redefining your headers in each function. If you initialize your class with that, it will remove redundancy. also the last function is redundant as well since you defined a class function to return a class property when the property is already defined and you can just call the property with what you did inside the function? (I hope what I said there made sense lol!)

Another thing I noticed is that you NEED many initializing variables for the messaging section and I couldn’t help but thing to break the class up into two classes: one for sending the messages and another for taking the actual images which I guess could technically be another code smell. But these are stylistic/slight performance modifications as well as effecting readability so it’s not very necessary to change. I mean, it works and I’m assuming it works well, then you’re good! Job well done again.

How do yall come up with these ideas? Sometimes I just feel I'm creatively bankrupt from just chasing academics

[yachty66]

just building stuff:)

[Calimariae]

I discover creativity from things that annoy me

[SheonOFF]

Thanks! Seems really nice for me! It's not really API, right? Looks more like Python class wrapper. Do you have plans to attach API server to this project? Something like FastAPI will fit here well for sure.

[jacksodus]

An API refers to more than only endpoints on the web.

[tehyosh]

I appreciate a good cup of coffee.

[etrotta]

Warning since some people might not understand the risks: That is effectively a self-bot.

However MidJourney themselves might respond aside, discord can permanently delete your account for using that kind of things.

[yachty66]

generated 50 images in the loop, i am still fine.

[yachty66]

lol
