File contents

Pollinations integration

Pollinations provides production image, text, audio, video, and embedding inference. Use the live API documentation at https://gen.pollinations.ai/docs and model discovery endpoints instead of hardcoding a model catalog.

Security

Keep sk_ keys server-side in Replit Secrets. Never put them in browser code, client bundles, commits, or logs.
Use a small server route or approved serverless function for requests needing a secret key.
Validate user input, return generic upstream errors, and avoid logging prompts or credentials by default.

This starter

POST /api/images accepts { "prompt": "..." } and proxies the image request.
POLLINATIONS_API_KEY must be configured in Replit Secrets before image generation works.
For new modalities, check the current docs first, then add a narrowly scoped server route and a visible user-facing error state.
