This endpoint allows you to fetch images and videos from https://cdn.midjourney.com/ through the useapi.net proxy. Use it to retrieve imageUx and videoUx URLs returned by GET /jobs/jobid or any other assets hosted on https://cdn.midjourney.com/.

The Midjourney CDN requires standard browser headers—specifically the User-Agent header—to serve assets. Without it, Cloudflare will block the request. This proxy endpoint adds these headers automatically.

Alternative: Direct CDN Access

You can skip the proxy and fetch assets directly from https://cdn.midjourney.com/ by including the necessary headers:

  • curl "https://cdn.midjourney.com/example-image.jpg" \
     -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/139.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" \
     -H "Accept: */*" \
     -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br" \
     -H "Connection: keep-alive" \
     --output image.jpg

  • const cdnUrl = "https://cdn.midjourney.com/example-image.jpg";

const headers = new Headers();
headers.set('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/139.0.0.0 Safari/537.36');
headers.set('Accept', '*/*');
headers.set('Accept-Encoding', 'gzip, deflate, br');
headers.set('Connection', 'keep-alive');

const response = await fetch(cdnUrl, { headers });
const blob = await response.blob();

// Save to file (Node.js)
const fs = require('fs');
const buffer = await blob.arrayBuffer();
fs.writeFileSync('image.jpg', Buffer.from(buffer));

  • import requests

cdnUrl = "https://cdn.midjourney.com/example-image.jpg"

headers = {
    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/139.0.0.0 Safari/537.36',
    'Accept': '*/*',
    'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate, br',
    'Connection': 'keep-alive'
}

response = requests.get(cdnUrl, headers=headers)

# Save image/video content
with open('image.jpg', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(response.content)

Note: The User-Agent header is critical—without it, Cloudflare will block your request.

Request Headers 
Authorization: Bearer {API token}
Query Parameter
  • cdnUrl is required and must be a valid asset URL starting with https://cdn.midjourney.com/
Responses

  • 200 OK

    Returns the proxied content from the Midjourney CDN with appropriate headers.

  • 400 Bad Request

    {
    "error": "<Error message>",
    "code": 400
}

  • 401 Unauthorized

    {
    "error": "Unauthorized",
    "code": 401
}

  • 403 Forbidden

    Cloudflare may occasionally block requests even with proper headers. This is typically temporary and can be resolved with retry logic.

    Recommendation: Implement retry logic with exponential backoff when encountering 403 errors, or better yet, implement your own direct CDN access using the headers shown in the “Alternative: Direct CDN Access” section above for greater control and reliability.

Examples 
  • curl -H "Authorization: Bearer …" \
     "https://api.useapi.net/v1/proxy/cdn-midjourney/?cdnUrl=https://cdn.midjourney.com/example-image.jpg"

  • const cdnUrl = "https://cdn.midjourney.com/example-image.jpg";
const apiUrl = `https://api.useapi.net/v1/proxy/cdn-midjourney/`;
const api_token = "API token";
const response = await fetch(`${apiUrl}?cdnUrl=${encodeURIComponent(cdnUrl)}`, {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${api_token}`
    }
});

const result = await response.blob(); // For image/video content
console.log("response", {response, result});

  • import requests
cdnUrl = "https://cdn.midjourney.com/example-image.jpg"
apiUrl = f"https://api.useapi.net/v1/proxy/cdn-midjourney/"
api_token = "API token"
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_token}"
}

params = {
    "cdnUrl": cdnUrl
}

response = requests.get(apiUrl, headers=headers, params=params)
print(response.status_code, response.headers)

# Save image/video content
with open('image.jpg', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(response.content)
