You can generate Midjourney V7 images straight from a REST call through the MiniMax API v1 on useapi.net — no Discord bot, no /imagine, just POST images/create with model="midjourney-v7". Generation runs through MiniMax (Hailuo) rather than Midjourney’s own Discord, so there are no Midjourney subscription or Discord account bans to worry about.

How it works

  • Send your prompt to POST images/create with model="midjourney-v7".
  • Pick the frame with the aspectRatio parameter — auto (default), 21:9, 16:9, 5:4, 4:3, 3:2, 1:1, 2:3, 3:4, 4:5, or 9:16.
  • Optionally guide the look with up to 14 image references. Upload each one with POST /files, then pass the returned fileID as referenceFileId1…referenceFileId14.
  • Every request returns exactly 4 images (the quantity parameter is ignored for this model), so each call gives you a full Midjourney-style grid to choose from.
  • The call responds with an imageIds array. Poll GET images/imageId until status is 2 (completed) and read downloadURL for the clean, non-watermarked image (paid accounts) or videoURL for the watermarked fallback.

No -- flags — prose and image references only

MiniMax’s Midjourney V7 does not understand native Midjourney flags. Tokens such as --ar, --s, --style, --sref, --no, and :: weights are not parsed — leaving them in your prompt just feeds literal text to the model. Everything is plain natural-language prose, and the two levers you have are the prompt itself and image references. Anything a flag used to control goes through an API parameter instead — aspect ratio via aspectRatio, reference imagery via referenceFileId1…14.

Pricing — single generation on Pro and Master

Midjourney V7 costs 3 credits per image, and every request always produces 4 images, so one generation is 12 credits.

Plan Monthly $/credit Per generation (4 images, 12 cr)
Pro $34.99 $0.00778 ~$0.093
Master $79.99 $0.00762 ~$0.091

Master has the lowest cost per credit of any plan. See the Credits estimator for every model and the MiniMax API overview for the full plan and per-model breakdown.

Show the API calls

Step 1 — upload the reference image with POST /files. The response returns a fileID:

curl --location 'https://api.useapi.net/v1/minimax/files/' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer user:12345-…' \
--header 'Content-Type: image/jpeg' \
--data-binary '@lady-dressed-up-staris.jpg'

Step 2 — generate, passing the returned fileID as referenceFileId1:

curl --location 'https://api.useapi.net/v1/minimax/images/create' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer user:12345-…' \
--form 'model="midjourney-v7"' \
--form 'prompt="Transform this woman into an epic warrior queen — keep her exact face and features — clad in ornate silver-and-gold filigree armor and a flowing crimson cloak, standing atop a windswept cliff above a vast army and a burning ancient city at dusk, storm clouds and embers swirling, dramatic god-rays breaking through, monumental cinematic scale, hyper-detailed, photoreal, epic blockbuster film-poster style."' \
