n · integer | null · default: 1

The number of images to generate. Must be between 1 and 10. For dall-e-3, only n=1 is supported.

Required range: 1 <= x <= 10

Example:

1

quality · enum<string> · default: standard

The quality of the image that will be generated. hd creates images with finer details and greater consistency across the image. This param is only supported for dall-e-3.

Available options: standard, hd
