Programmatic Image Generation Made Easy: A Comprehensive API-Ready Workflow
1. Workflow Overview

This JSON file defines a standard API-ready Stable Diffusion workflow for programmatic image generation. It produces 512x512 images from text prompts with built-in output saving functionality.
2. Core Components
Node | Type | Key Function |
---|---|---|
CheckpointLoaderSimple | Model Loader | Loads AWPainting_v1.3 (artistic style model) |
EmptyLatentImage | Latent Space | Creates 512x512 blank latent image |
CLIPTextEncode (x2) | Text Encoder | Processes positive/negative prompts |
KSampler | Sampler | Controls generation (20 steps, Euler) |
VAEDecode | Decoder | Converts latent to pixel image |
SaveImage | Output | Saves final image |
3. Critical Parameters
Resolution: 512x512
Prompts:
Positive: "beautiful scenery nature glass bottle landscape, purple galaxy bottle"
Negative: "text, watermark"
Sampling: Euler method, 20 steps, CFG=8
Seed: 802908303372950
4. API Integration Features
Structured Input:(Json)
{
"prompt": "beautiful scenery...",
"negative_prompt": "text, watermark",
"width": 512,
"height": 512,
"steps": 20,
"cfg_scale": 8
}
Extensibility:
Model path can be modified (Node 4 widgets_values)
Dynamic seed adjustment (Node 3 widgets_values[0])
Output Handling:
Auto-saves to ComfyUI output directory
Returns base64 or file path
5. Recommended API Wrapper(Python)
def generate_image(prompt, negative_prompt="", size=(512,512)):
payload = {
"prompt": prompt,
"negative_prompt": negative_prompt,
"width": size[0],
"height": size[1]
}
response = requests.post("http://comfyui-server/api/v1/generate",
json=payload)
return response.json()["output_url"]
6. Performance Optimization
For high-frequency calls:
Preload models (keep CheckpointLoaderSimple resident)
Implement batch processing
Parameter tuning:
Reduce steps to 15 for faster generation
Use "dpmpp_2m" sampler for quality/speed balance
7. Technical Notes
Dependencies: Requires ComfyUI server with AWPainting model
Throughput: ~2.5 sec/image on RTX 3090 (20 steps)
Scalability: Stateless design supports horizontal scaling
This workflow is API-optimized with:
Minimal node complexity
Clear parameter mapping
No external dependencies
Deterministic output control
For production deployment, consider adding:
Request queuing system
Async response handling
Dynamic model switching
