Is there an API you can call?

[jdc4429]

I just wanted to know if there was an API I can call like automatic? if so is it compatible, if not, are you going to add one? I run a website and currently use an API to allow users to create their own images. I was really liking that your interface can run SDXL (especially on my 8GB RTX 2070) and was hoping to implement it's API. 1080p images that can be used as wallpapers and such. Can also create an image in 4 different sizes currently. My website is https://AiImageCentral.com if anyone wants to check it out.

Regards,

Jeff

Yes, read the top of: https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI/blob/master/script_examples/basic_api_example.py

And this is how you can use the websockets: https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI/blob/master/script_examples/websockets_api_example.py

[jdc4429]

Thank you! Love your efficient use of memory and quick response.

Wow there are a lot of fields. I'm not sure what all of them do.

[jdc4429]

Seems to be an issue.. For some reason when I run the script it works the first time, but when you call it again after that it does not run.

got prompt 100%|████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████| 20/20 [00:02<00:00, 8.41it/s] Prompt executed in 3.84 seconds got prompt Prompt executed in 0.00 seconds got prompt Prompt executed in 0.00 seconds

comfyui caches the node outputs of the last workflow so you submit the same workflow twice it won't execute anything in it.

Set a random seed instead of the fixed seed in the script.

[jdc4429]

Hmm.. I did set to -1 for the seed.. Does it not recognize -1 as random? Nevermind, error says no values less then 1. :) I didn't notice at first the other fields changing the information at the bottom. Thank you!

[jdc4429]

Now my only issue in a random number generator.. I'm not finding what the actual range is for the seed for SD... Any idea what the max is? Does it depend on the model?

[comfyanonymous]

The max is: 18446744073709551616

[jdc4429]

Well I thought it was working.. I have it working if I run the python script myself from the command line But when I try executing from shell I get this error...

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/www/html/comfy.py", line 181, in ws = websocket.WebSocket() TypeError: WebSocket.init() missing 3 required positional arguments: 'environ', 'socket', and 'rfile'

I'm not sure why... I install the websocket-client.. even put in script to install in environment. Says requirements are satisfied. Not sure if conflicting with another library. Will try creating environment for Comfy by itself.

[comfyanonymous]

For the websocket example: pip install websocket-client and make sure you don't have another package named "websocket" installed.

[jdc4429]

I create a conda environment called comfy... which should be clean. Installed requirements.txt to comfy environment pip3 install websocket-client From my understanding, any outside package should not interfere? I'm not sure why I'm still getting the error... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/www/html/comfy.py", line 181, in ws = websocket.WebSocket() TypeError: WebSocket.init() missing 3 required positional arguments: 'environ', 'socket', and 'rfile'

I did pip list...

[jdc4429]

I even removed all websocket packages from base...

I still get the same error. I don't understand why. It was working previously and now It's not even working when I do it manually. This is really odd...

I rebooted my system... And now again I can do it manually. but when I try and execute from the python script I get the error above.

[jdc4429]

I even tried using my other webui interface.. but that doesn't work either. lol

RuntimeError: (405, '405: Method Not Allowed')

I would really like to get this working but I'm at a loss. I don't know what else I can try. I removed all other sockets, reinstalled a few times. Rebooted.. It keeps asking for those arguments when I execute from another python script...

[jdc4429]

What is really screwed up.. is I can run manually from base.. But when I go into the newly created comfy environment it gives me that error.

[comfyanonymous]

WebSocket.init() missing 3 required positional arguments: 'environ', 'socket', and 'rfile'

That means you have "websocket" installed not "websocket-client"

[jdc4429]

I uninstalled it... and rebooted.. and that was only on base.. that should not affect the newly created conda environment. I think maybe my Conda environment is messed up somehow. I may try reinstalling Anaconda... No I specifically installed websocket-client and made sure to remove any other sockets even from base... Something is screwy.

[jdc4429]

I had an error with conda that was causing it to fail to allow me to install anything. I had to delete my whole anaconda3 dir and reinstall from scratch. Will setup everything I need from base and see what happens. Thanks again for your help.

[jdc4429]

I think something is screwy with that code..

Just reinstalled Anaconda completely. Installed all the requirements to base. Created a new conda environment for Comfy...

Look at this.. when run first time...

If you are still having issues with the API, I created an extension to convert any comfyui workflow (including custom nodes) into executable python code that will run without relying on the comfyui server. You just run the workflow_api.json file through the extension and it creates a python script that will immediate run your workflow.

If you are comfortable in Python, it may be more straightforward to use than the API. If interested, check it out here: https://github.com/pydn/ComfyUI-to-Python-Extension

It's amazing to add natively in ComfyUI (below Save API Format Button)

Is it possible to call the endpoint and get the image back without using websockets? I'm attempting to call my ComfyUI server from AWS lambda. I had trouble getting it to allow websockets so I am using the regular API and I can get it queue up a message but it doesn't return the image or any indication of when its done. I want to avoid polling the server constantly until the generation is complete. I also have the same issue calling from Postman. any help would be appreciated

[pydn]

@Thrasosoft I could be wrong, but I don't think you can use the API without polling the server. You could use my extension to automatically generate Python code from your workflow, which will execute your workflow without polling the server. https://github.com/pydn/ComfyUI-to-Python-Extension

[Thrasosoft]

What would it take to get something like Automatic1111's "--no-gradio-queue" option that uses http requests instead of a websocket?

[rossaai]

What we opted for was to directly access the ComfyUI nodes using python and then build a simple API with FastAPI.

When attempting to call the Server's /view? endpoint I am unable to figure out how to encode the image properly for display in a web-browser. It seems from the included script examples the data is being returned as bytes but I need it to be base64. However the below code does not get the job done. any reccomendations for correctly encoding the image information?

        const imageUrl = `${process.env.COMFY_UI_URL}/view?filename=${filename}`;
        try {
          const imageData = await requestHandler.get(imageUrl, requestOptions);
          if (imageData) {
            const base64Image = Buffer.from(imageData.data, "binary").toString("base64");
            response = { images: [base64Image] };
          } else {
            response = "Error Generating Images";
          }
        } catch (er) {
          console.log('Error getting image data: ',er);
          error = true;
          response = "Error Generating Images";
        }
      }
      return response;

The end result of this code is an encoded string that cannot be decoded as an image on the front-end. how have others solved this?

have you resolve this? base64 encode the out binary, can not preview, do you know why? @Thrasosoft

yeah I solved this already. I needed to get the response as an array buffer and encode it as base64

export async function getBase64Image(url:string) {
  return requestHandler
    .get(url, {
      responseType: "arraybuffer",
    })
    .then((response) =>
      Buffer.from(response.data, "binary").toString("base64")
    );
}

Then in my img tag on my webapp I needed to specify the encoding in the img src

export const getImgSrc = (imageBytes) => {
  return "data:image/png;base64," + imageBytes;
};
...
          <img
            src={props.imgSrc ? props.imgSrc : getImgSrc(props.imgResult)}
            alt={props.character.portraitPrompt}
            className={section1Styles.image}
          />

Hi, which ws endpoint/api I should use to get the current quenu size, including pending and running Thanks in advance
