# Qwen Image

Generate high-quality images using Alibaba Cloud's Qwen Image API (通义万相).

Usage

Generate an image (returns URL only): ```bash uv run {baseDir}/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "一副典雅庄重的对联悬挂于厅堂之中" --size "1664*928" --api-key sk-xxx ```

Generate and save locally: ```bash uv run {baseDir}/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "一副典雅庄重的对联悬挂于厅堂之中" --size "1664*928" --api-key sk-xxx ```

With custom model: Support `qwen-image-max-2025-12-30` `qwen-image-plus-2026-01-09` `qwen-image-plus` ```bash uv run {baseDir}/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "a beautiful sunset over mountains" --model qwen-image-plus-2026-01-09 --api-key sk-xxx ```

API Key You can obtain the API key and run the image generation command in the following order.

  • Get apiKey from `models.providers.bailian.apiKey` in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`
  • Or get from `skills."qwen-image".apiKey` in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`
  • Or get from `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY` environment variable
  • Or Get your API key from: https://dashscope.console.aliyun.com/

Options **Sizes:** - `1664*928` (default) - 16:9 landscape - `1024*1024` - Square format - `720*1280` - 9:16 portrait - `1280*720` - 16:9 landscape (smaller)

  • Additional flags:
  • `--negative-prompt "unwanted elements"` - Specify what to avoid
  • `--no-prompt-extend` - Disable automatic prompt enhancement
  • `--watermark` - Add watermark to generated image
  • `--no-verify-ssl` - Disable SSL certificate verification (use when behind corporate proxy)

Workflow

  1. Execute the generate_image.py script with the user's prompt
  2. Parse the script output and find the line starting with `MEDIA_URL:`
  3. Extract the image URL from that line (format: `MEDIA_URL: https://...`)
  4. Display the image to the user using markdown syntax: `!Generated Image`
  5. Do NOT download or save the image unless the user specifically requests it

Notes

  • Supports both Chinese and English prompts
  • By default, returns image URL directly without downloading
  • The script prints `MEDIA_URL:` in the output - extract this URL and display it using markdown image syntax: `!generated image`
  • Always look for the line starting with `MEDIA_URL:` in the script output and render the image for the user
  • Default negative prompt helps avoid common AI artifacts
  • Images are hosted on Alibaba Cloud OSS with temporary access URLs

Use Cases

  • Generate structured output from specifications or requirements
  • Automate repetitive workflows to save time and reduce errors
  • Interact with external APIs for data retrieval and service integration
  • Configure and manage proxy connections for web access
