What Is the Nano Banana API? A Complete Guide to Gemini’s Image Generation

3 min read

Introduction

The Nano Banana API is Gemini's advanced AI interface for both language and image capabilities, housed inside the JuheAPI platform. While many know Gemini for text generation, its image generation and editing API is equally powerful.

Understanding Nano Banana API

Origins and Branding

Nano Banana is the friendly codename developers use for the Gemini suite. All endpoints are served via JuheAPI, making it accessible alongside other AI tools.

Capabilities Overview

  • Text generation for chat and content automation
  • Image generation for creating visuals from descriptions
  • Image editing and transformation to refine and modify existing visuals

How the Gemini Image API Works

Base URL and Endpoints

The core API base URL is:

For LLM text generation, you might use:

curl --location --request POST 'https://wisdom-gate.juheapi.com/v1/chat/completions' \
--header 'Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Accept: */*' \
--header 'Host: wisdom-gate.juheapi.com' \
--header 'Connection: keep-alive' \
--data-raw '{
    "model":"wisdom-vision-gemini-2.5-flash-image",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Hello, how can you help me today?"
      }
    ]
}'

Image endpoints follow similar structure but with parameters for prompts, dimensions, and formats.

Image Generation Workflow

  1. Authenticate with your API key from JuheAPI login.
  2. Build request payload: include text prompt, desired size, format settings.
  3. Send POST request to image endpoint.
  4. Receive JSON response with URLs or base64-encoded image data.

Image Editing Features

  • Upload an existing image for transformation.
  • Apply style filters, overlays, or background changes.

Core Features & Benefits

  • High-resolution outputs up to 1080p
  • Multi-format support (PNG, JPEG, WebP)
  • Fast processing time suitable for real-time apps
  • Easy integration via REST API

Developer Advantages

  • Clear JSON structure for requests/responses
  • Rich documentation at JuheAPI
  • Horizontal scaling for heavy workloads
