Ideogram is_image_safe in the response: what Sume returns instead

Ideogram's Precise Edit reference (read 2026-10-06) lists is_image_safe among the fields returned for each generated image. Sume's /v1/images response has no equivalent per-image flag. Its documented response is data[].url, media_type and a usage.cost. When the input is refused, you see it on the job.

So the port is not a field rename. You move a check from the image object to the job status.

Where Sume reports a refusal

Sume's errors page lists generation_rejected as a job error category, and the suggested action is to examine the events and correct the unsupported input. Failed jobs carry public error metadata: category, stage, retryability, retry-after seconds, a public reason and a next action. The Image API page adds that failed or cancelled generations are not charged.

Field mapping

A status check that prints the error

This submits a cheap async generation and prints the whole status object, so you can see the category field names for your own account instead of guessing them.

import json, os, time, requests

key = os.environ.get("SUME_API_KEY")
if not key:
    raise SystemExit("set SUME_API_KEY")
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {key}", "Idempotency-Key": "safety-probe-001"}
body = {"model": "ideogram/ideogram-v4.5", "quality": "low", "mode": "async",
        "prompt": "A plain teal poster that reads OPEN"}
r = requests.post("https://api.sume.com/v1/images", headers=headers, json=body, timeout=60)
data = r.json()["data"]
while True:
    s = requests.get(data["status_url"], headers=headers, timeout=30).json()
    s = s.get("data", s)
    if s.get("terminal"):
        print(json.dumps(s, indent=2))
        break
    time.sleep(2)

Handling it in a batch

Batch edits make the difference matter. With a per-image flag you can keep nine good frames and drop one. With a job-level outcome you decide per job, so submit one edit per job and keep your own table that maps each source image to its job id and final status.

Do not resubmit a failed edit unchanged. The refusal is about the input, so a retry spends a request and gets the same answer. Change the source or the instruction, then submit with a new Idempotency-Key.
