Start a generation run

Deprecated

POST/runs/generation

Starts a model generation run in a project canvas using type, prompt, workspace_id, project_id, optional model endpoint ID, and optional model parameters. Use type=image|video|audio|text and model IDs returned by GET /models or list_models. Mutating public API requests support an optional Idempotency-Key header for client retries; duplicate keys within two hours return idempotency_duplicate.
