```
// Node.js. Running this creates one paid generation.

  "prompt": "Wood-fired pizza sliding out of a brick oven on a peel, embers glowing inside. 35mm film still, soft natural light, muted earth tones with one ember orange accent, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain, candid and unposed, no text, logos, or watermark.",
  "aspect_ratio": "1:1"
};

async function api(path, body) {
  const response = await fetch(base + path, {
    method: body ? 'POST' : 'GET', headers,
