Introduction

Second-hand marketplaces face a common challenge: user-uploaded images vary in quality, affecting buyer trust. High-grade images lead to more clicks, higher conversion, and lower return rates.

The Marketplace Image Quality Problem

Poor lighting, messy backgrounds, and low resolution are frequent in user uploads. Manual editing is slow, expensive, and hard to scale. Listings with poor imagery lose credibility and sales.

Why Nano Banana Pro Stands Out

Key Benefits

  • Official output quality.
  • Consistent 10-second generation speed.
  • Stable under high volumes.

Pricing Advantage

  • Nano Banana: 0.02 USD/image (official 0.039 USD).
  • Nano Banana Pro: 0.068 USD/image (official 0.134 USD).
  • Massive savings for large-scale operations.

Upload-to-High-Quality Flow

1-Step Transformation

  1. Upload original image.
  2. API generates enhanced image.
  3. Replace listing instantly.

Workflow Advantages

  • No manual editing.
  • Consistent presentation across listings.
  • Quicker time-to-market.

Integration Steps

Step 1: Prepare API Access

Get credentials from Wisdom Gate, select model based on desired quality.

Step 2: Send Image Enhancement Request

curl --location --request POST 'https://wisdom-gate.juheapi.com/v1/chat/completions' \
--header 'Authorization: sk-XXXX' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Accept: */*' \
--data-raw '{
  "model": "gemini-2.5-flash-image",
  "messages": [{"role": "user","content": [{"text": "generate a high-quality image.","type": "text"},
        {"image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/original.jpg"},"type": "image_url/base64"}]}],
  "stream": false
}'

Step 3: Receive Enhanced Image

API returns base64 image data in ~10 seconds for immediate use.

Scaling Bulk Enhancements

  • Process batches via parallel API calls.
  • Maintain performance at thousands of images/hour.
  • Predict costs with fixed per-image pricing.

Extending Visual Content with Sora AI Video

Adding short videos to listings boosts engagement.

Step 1: Make Video

curl -X POST "https://wisdom-gate.juheapi.com/v1/videos" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
  -F model="sora-2" \
  -F prompt="A serene lake surrounded by mountains at sunset" \
  -F seconds="15"

Step 2: Check Progress

curl -X GET "https://wisdom-gate.juheapi.com/v1/videos/{task_id}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Cost Advantage

Sora AI video generation costs 0.12 USD/video vs official 1–1.5 USD.

Practical Tips for Implementation

  • Use CDN to serve enhanced content.
  • Archive originals for backup.
  • Check API success rates regularly.
  • Set automated fallback logic.

ROI Calculation Example

For 100,000 images/month:

  • Nano Banana at 0.02 USD saves $1,900 over official pricing.
  • Pro tier at 0.068 USD saves $6,600.

Conclusion

Nano Banana Pro enables marketplaces to upgrade photos quickly, affordably, and at scale. Improved photos increase buyer trust and conversion rates, while tight integration keeps workflows smooth.
