Quickstart

One request. OpenAI's format.

Point the OpenAI SDK at https://api.zurelay.com/v1 and call images.generate, or images.edit with your reference images. Sizes, aspect ratios and every option are in the image guide.

Add credit from $10, with no subscription. The quickstart has the rest, and every Nano Banana model has its own page.

generate.py
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.zurelay.com/v1",
    api_key="YOUR_ZURELAY_KEY",
)
image = client.images.generate(
    model="nano-banana-pro",
    prompt="A red fox sitting in fresh snow at dawn, photo",
    size="2K",
    extra_body={"aspect_ratio": "16:9"},
)
print(image.data[0].url)

Verified

The Nano Banana you asked for. Tested before it serves.

Model capacity is often bought ahead, through prepaid credits, committed-spend contracts and volume tiers, and not all of it gets used. Sellers offer it below the usual price. Zurelay tests each route, pools several per model and sends every request to one that is available and verified.

Every image that comes back is measured against the size and aspect ratio you asked for. One at the wrong size, or an error sent as a result, counts as a failed attempt: the request moves to another route and you aren't billed for it. How models are verified.

Live health for every model is on the status page.

FAQ

Nano Banana API questions.

Anything else? Ask our team and we’ll answer by email.

How much does the Nano Banana API cost?

On Zurelay: Nano Banana 2.1 from $0.03 per image; Nano Banana Pro from $0.035 per image; Nano Banana 2 from $0.025 per image; Nano Banana 2 Lite $0.016 per image. That's 11–74% below Google's own price. There's no subscription or minimum spend: you add prepaid credit from $10 and pay for what you use.

Is it the real Nano Banana?

Yes. Each model is served over several routes run by independent sellers, and every route is tested before it serves requests and re-tested while it does. Images are measured against the size and aspect ratio you asked for, and one at the wrong size counts as a failed attempt you aren't billed for. If a result doesn't look right, send its x-request-id to support and we check the route that served it.

How do I start calling Nano Banana through Zurelay?

Create a key, then call images.generate in the OpenAI SDK, or POST /v1/images/generations, at https://api.zurelay.com/v1 with a model ID such as nano-banana-pro. Code that already uses OpenAI's images API only needs the base URL, the key and the model name changed.

Can I edit images with Nano Banana through Zurelay?

Yes. Send a prompt with up to 14 reference images to edit or combine them, on POST /v1/images/generations or POST /v1/images/edits, in OpenAI's format.

Do I get the size I ask for?

Yes. Every image is measured against Google's official size for the resolution and aspect ratio you asked for. An image at the wrong size counts as a failed attempt: the request moves to another route and you aren't billed for it.
