🚀 New Unified API — Now Live

We've launched https://gen.pollinations.ai — a single endpoint for all your AI generation needs: text, images, audio, video — all in one place.

What's New

• Unified endpoint — single API at gen.pollinations.ai for all generation
• Pollen credits — simple pay-as-you-go system ($1 ≈ 1 Pollen)
• All models, one place — Flux, GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Seedream, and more
• API keys — publishable keys for frontend, secret keys for backend

Get started at enter.pollinations.ai and check out the API docs
