# Nano Banana API: use Nano Banana in your own app

> The Nano Banana API lets developers call Nano Banana image models from code. NanoBanana itself is a no-code web app; for API access the same models are available through Aiduct (aiduct.ai) as nano-banana-2 at $0.108 and nano-banana-pro at $0.24 per image, with one API key and a /v1/images/generations endpoint.

NanoBanana is a web app. If you need Nano Banana inside your own product, use an image API; here is what to know before you start.

## What the Nano Banana API is good for

- **Product features**: Add image generation or photo editing to your own app.
- **Batch jobs**: Create catalog images, variants or thumbnails at scale.
- **Automations**: Connect image generation to your CMS, store or workflow tools.

## How to start with the Nano Banana API

1. **Create an API key**: Sign up at aiduct.ai and create a key in the console.
2. **Call the images endpoint**: Send the prompt, the model ID and any reference images to /v1/images/generations.
3. **Store the result**: Save the returned image in your app or storage.

## API or web app?

Choose the API when images must be created inside your own software, in batches or automatically. Choose the NanoBanana web app when a person creates the images: there is nothing to build, you can refine results by hand, you pay in credits, and the first images are free.


## Nano Banana API pricing

API usage is billed per image: $0.108 for Nano Banana 2 and $0.24 for Nano Banana Pro on Aiduct at the time of writing. Check the provider's current price list before you build, and prototype prompts in the web app first to avoid paying for experiments in code.
