import fal_client
result = fal_client.subscribe("fal-ai/flux/dev",
    arguments={"prompt": "A beautiful sunset over mountains", "image_size": "landscape_16_9"})
print(result["images"][0]["url"])

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FLUX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "FLUX.1 [schnell]",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from yangmao.ai"}]
  }'
