Overview

Collect diagnostic information for Ideogram API issues. Produces a tarball with environment details, API connectivity tests, request/response samples, and redacted configuration -- suitable for attaching to support tickets.

Prerequisites

• IDEOGRAM_API_KEY

  environment variable set

• curl

  and

  tar

  available
• Permission to collect environment info

  echo "Python: $(python3 --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'not installed')"
  echo "OS: $(uname -srm)"
  echo ""
  echo "--- Ideogram Config ---"
  echo "API Key: ${IDEOGRAM_API_KEY:+SET (length=${#IDEOGRAM_API_KEY})}${IDEOGRAM_API_KEY:-NOT SET}"

Step 2: Quick One-Line Diagnostics

set -euo pipefail
# Test API key validity
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "Status: %{http_code} | Time: %{time_total}s\n" \
  -X POST https://api.ideogram.ai/generate \
  -H "Api-Key: $IDEOGRAM_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"image_request":{"prompt":"test","model":"V_2_TURBO","magic_prompt_option":"OFF"}}'

# Test V3 endpoint
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "V3 Status: %{http_code}\n" \
  -X POST https://api.ideogram.ai/v1/ideogram-v3/generate \
  -H "Api-Key: $IDEOGRAM_API_KEY" \
  -F "prompt=test" -F "rendering_speed=FLASH"

Step 3: Request Logging Wrapper

// Add to your client for capturing failed requests
async function debuggableRequest(url: string, init: RequestInit) {
  const start = Date.now();
  const response = await fetch(url, init);
  const elapsed = Date.now() - start;

  if (!response.ok) {
    const body = await response.text();
    console.error(JSON.stringify({
      timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
      url,
      method: init.method,
      status: response.status,
      elapsed_ms: elapsed,
      error: body.slice(0, 500),
      // Redact API key from headers
      headers: Object.fromEntries(
        Object.entries(init.headers ?? {}).map(([k, v]) =>
          [k, k.toLowerCase() === "api-key" ? "***REDACTED***" : v]
        )
      ),
    }, null, 2));
    throw new Error(`Ideogram ${response.status}: ${body}`);
  }

  return response;
}

Sensitive Data Handling

ALWAYS REDACT before sharing:

• API keys and tokens

• .env

  file values
• PII in prompts
• File paths containing usernames

Safe to include:

• HTTP status codes and error messages
• Request timing and latency
• Runtime versions (Node, Python)
• Package dependency versions

Error Handling

Item	Purpose	Included
API key status	Auth verification	SET/NOT SET only
HTTP status code	Error classification	Full code
Response time	Latency diagnosis	Seconds
DNS resolution	Network diagnosis	IP only
Package versions	Compatibility check	Version strings

Output

• ideogram-debug-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.tar.gz

  containing:

  • summary.txt

    -- environment, API test, DNS, dependencies

  • api-response-sample.json

    -- truncated API response

  • env-redacted.txt

    -- configuration with values masked
