# FLUX (Black Forest Labs)

> Image generation and editing from Black Forest Labs. Another look, when OpenAI's house style is not the one you want.

Image generation and editing from Black Forest Labs. Another look, when OpenAI's house style is not the one you want.

## Connecting

In the dashboard, open **Connectors**, find FLUX (Black Forest Labs) and press **Connect**. The key you enter is checked against FLUX (Black Forest Labs) before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.

### What you will need

| Field   | What it is                     |
| ------- | ------------------------------ |
| API Key | Your Black Forest Labs API key |

### Getting the credential

1. Create an API key at [api.bfl.ai](https://api.bfl.ai)
2. Paste it into the connector

## Notes

* **Everything is asynchronous.** Starting a job returns an `id`; poll `get_result` until `status` is `Ready`.
  A job can also come back moderated rather than failed.
* Results are copied onto BoostGPT storage, so the link keeps working.

## What an agent can do with it

| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `generate_image` | Generate an image from a text prompt with FLUX.2 \[pro]. Asynchronous: returns an id. Poll get\_result until the status is 'Ready', and the image is returned on a durable URL.                                                                                                                         |
| `edit_image`     | Edit an existing image by describing the change, with FLUX.1 Kontext — 'remove the background', 'make it night'. Pass the image by URL; an attached photo's link works directly. Asynchronous: returns an id. Poll get\_result until the status is 'Ready', and the image is returned on a durable URL. |
| `get_result`     | Poll a FLUX job. Status is 'Pending', 'Ready', 'Error', or a moderation outcome. Once Ready the image is rehosted on a durable URL; while it is still running the status is returned so you can poll again.                                                                                             |
| `get_credits`    | Check how much credit is left on the account.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
