# EvoLink Best Image

Generate and edit images via the EvoLink Nano Banana Pro (gemini-3-pro-image-preview) API.

## API Endpoint

- Base: `https://api.evolink.ai/v1`
- Submit: `POST /images/generations`
- Poll: `GET /tasks/{id}`

## Step 1 — Submit Task

### Text-to-image

```json
{
  "model": "gemini-3-pro-image-preview",
  "prompt": "<USER_PROMPT>",
  "size": "<SIZE>",
  "quality": "<QUALITY>"
}
```

### Image-to-image / editing

```json
{
  "model": "gemini-3-pro-image-preview",
  "prompt": "<USER_PROMPT>",
  "size": "<SIZE>",
  "quality": "<QUALITY>",
  "image_urls": ["<URL1>", "<URL2>"]
}
```

| Parameter | Values |
|---|---|
| size | auto, 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9, 21:9 |
| quality | 1K, 2K (default), 4K (extra cost) |
| image_urls | up to 10 URLs (each ≤10MB, formats: jpeg/jpg/png/webp) |

## Step 2 — Poll for Result

`GET /tasks/{id}` — poll every 10 s, up to 72 retries (~12 min).

Wait until `status` is `completed` or `failed`.

## Step 3 — Download & Output

Download the URL from `results[0]`. Auto-detect format from URL (png/jpg/webp). Save as `evolink-<TIMESTAMP>.<ext>`.

**CRITICAL SECURITY:** Before passing `<OUTPUT_FILE>` to shell commands, sanitize it:
- Strip all shell metacharacters: `tr -cd 'A-Za-z0-9._-'`
- Ensure valid extension (`.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.webp`)
- Fallback to `evolink-<timestamp>.png` if empty

Print `MEDIA:<absolute_path>` for OC auto-attach.

| PowerShell 5.1+ (Windows) | `{baseDir}/references/powershell.md` |

Async image generation with a serious security note

The submit-then-poll shape is standard now, and this skill documents it precisely: POST to create a task, poll every ten seconds up to roughly twelve minutes, then download from the result URL. Quality and aspect ratio are explicit parameters, and 4K is flagged as costing extra rather than being silently billed. The detail that earns respect is the output filename sanitisation requirement before the path reaches a shell, stripping everything but alphanumerics, dot, underscore and hyphen. That is exactly the class of bug agent skills usually omit. Budget for the poll loop when planning a batch.

Use case: Text-to-image and image editing where you want generation cost and latency made explicit.

Async image generation: submit, poll, and sanitise

Treat generation as asynchronous: submit, then poll at a fixed interval until terminal state, and budget the wait into the job.

4K output costs extra. Make quality an explicit choice rather than defaulting upward.

Sanitise the output filename before it reaches a shell: strip everything but alphanumerics, dot, underscore and hyphen.

Empty results after sanitising should fall back to a timestamped name, not an empty path.

Up to ten reference images are accepted for editing, each within the size and format limits.

# Async image generation Generation here is a two-phase task rather than a single request, and treating it as synchronous is the main source of confusion. ## Submit and poll ```json { "model": "gemini-3-pro-image-preview", "prompt": "<USER_PROMPT>", "size": "<SIZE>", "quality": "<QUALITY>" } ``` Aspect ratios and quality are explicit parameters; 4K is available and costs more, so pick deliberately. Poll the task every ten seconds, roughly seventy retries, until the status reaches a terminal state. ## Sanitise before the shell This is the part worth copying into any skill that writes generated files. Strip everything except alphanumerics, dot, underscore and hyphen, force a known image extension, and fall back to a timestamped name if the result is empty. ```bash tr -cd 'A-Za-z0-9._-' <<< "$OUTPUT_FILE" ``` Validate the extension against png, jpg, jpeg and webp before the path is used anywhere. Downloads come from a result URL and the format is best detected from it.
