# Cloud API Reference

> Complete API reference with code examples for Comfy Cloud

<Warning>
  **Deprecated:** The v1 Cloud API is deprecated in favor of [Comfy API v2](/api-reference/v2/overview). Endpoints, request/response formats, and behavior may be modified without notice. Some endpoints are maintained for compatibility with local ComfyUI but may have different semantics (e.g., ignored fields).
</Warning>

This page provides complete examples for common Comfy Cloud API operations.

<Note>
  **Subscription Required:** Running workflows via the API requires an active Comfy Cloud subscription. See [pricing plans](https://www.comfy.org/cloud/pricing?utm_source=docs\&utm_campaign=cloud-api) for details.
</Note>

## Setup

All examples use these common imports and configuration:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash curl theme={null}
  export COMFY_CLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key"
  export BASE_URL="https://cloud.comfy.org"
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  import { readFile, writeFile } from "fs/promises";

  const BASE_URL = "https://cloud.comfy.org";
  const API_KEY = process.env.COMFY_CLOUD_API_KEY!;

  function getHeaders(): HeadersInit {
    return {
      "X-API-Key": API_KEY,
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    };
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import os
  import requests
  import json
  import time
  import asyncio
  import aiohttp

  BASE_URL = "https://cloud.comfy.org"
  API_KEY = os.environ["COMFY_CLOUD_API_KEY"]

  def get_headers():
      return {
          "X-API-Key": API_KEY,
          "Content-Type": "application/json"
      }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

***

## Object Info

Retrieve available node definitions. This is useful for understanding what nodes are available and their input/output specifications.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash curl theme={null}
  curl -X GET "$BASE_URL/api/object_info" \
    -H "X-API-Key: $COMFY_CLOUD_API_KEY"
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  async function getObjectInfo(): Promise<Record<string, any>> {
    const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/api/object_info`, {
      headers: getHeaders(),
    });
    if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`);
    return response.json();
  }

  const objectInfo = await getObjectInfo();
  console.log(`Available nodes: ${Object.keys(objectInfo).length}`);

  const ksampler = objectInfo["KSampler"] ?? {};
  console.log(`KSampler inputs: ${Object.keys(ksampler.input?.required ?? {})}`);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  def get_object_info():
      """Fetch all available node definitions from cloud."""
      response = requests.get(
          f"{BASE_URL}/api/object_info",
          headers=get_headers()
      )
      response.raise_for_status()
      return response.json()

  # Get all nodes
  object_info = get_object_info()
  print(f"Available nodes: {len(object_info)}")

  # Get a specific node's definition
  ksampler = object_info.get("KSampler", {})
  inputs = list(ksampler.get('input', {}).get('required', {}).keys())
  print(f"KSampler inputs: {inputs}")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Uploading Inputs

Upload images, masks, or other files for use in workflows.

### Direct Upload (Multipart)

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash curl theme={null}
  curl -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/upload/image" \
    -H "X-API-Key: $COMFY_CLOUD_API_KEY" \
    -F "image=@my_image.png" \
    -F "type=input" \
    -F "overwrite=true"
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  async function uploadInput(
    filePath: string,
    inputType: string = "input"
  ): Promise<{ name: string; subfolder: string }> {
    const file = await readFile(filePath);
    const formData = new FormData();
    formData.append("image", new Blob([file]), filePath.split("/").pop());
    formData.append("type", inputType);
    formData.append("overwrite", "true");

    const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/api/upload/image`, {
      method: "POST",
      headers: { "X-API-Key": API_KEY },
      body: formData,
    });
    if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`);
    return response.json();
  }

  const result = await uploadInput("my_image.png");
  console.log(`Uploaded: ${result.name} to ${result.subfolder}`);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  def upload_input(file_path: str, input_type: str = "input") -> dict:
      """Upload a file directly to cloud.
      
      Args:
          file_path: Path to the file to upload
          input_type: "input" for images, "temp" for temporary files
          
      Returns:
          Upload response with filename and subfolder
      """
      with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
          files = {"image": f}
          data = {"type": input_type, "overwrite": "true"}
          
          response = requests.post(
              f"{BASE_URL}/api/upload/image",
              headers={"X-API-Key": API_KEY},  # No Content-Type for multipart
              files=files,
              data=data
          )
      response.raise_for_status()
      return response.json()

  # Upload an image
  result = upload_input("my_image.png")
  print(f"Uploaded: {result['name']} to {result['subfolder']}")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Upload Mask

<Note>
  The `subfolder` parameter is accepted for API compatibility but ignored in cloud storage. All files are stored in a flat, content-addressed namespace.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash curl theme={null}
  curl -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/upload/mask" \
    -H "X-API-Key: $COMFY_CLOUD_API_KEY" \
    -F "image=@mask.png" \
    -F "type=input" \
    -F "subfolder=clipspace" \
    -F 'original_ref={"filename":"my_image.png","subfolder":"","type":"input"}'
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  async function uploadMask(
    filePath: string,
    originalRef: { filename: string; subfolder: string; type: string }
  ): Promise<{ name: string; subfolder: string }> {
    const file = await readFile(filePath);
    const formData = new FormData();
    formData.append("image", new Blob([file]), filePath.split("/").pop());
    formData.append("type", "input");
    formData.append("subfolder", "clipspace");
    formData.append("original_ref", JSON.stringify(originalRef));

    const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/api/upload/mask`, {
      method: "POST",
      headers: { "X-API-Key": API_KEY },
      body: formData,
    });
    if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`);
    return response.json();
  }

  const maskResult = await uploadMask("mask.png", {
    filename: "my_image.png",
    subfolder: "",
    type: "input",
  });
  console.log(`Uploaded mask: ${maskResult.name}`);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  def upload_mask(file_path: str, original_ref: dict) -> dict:
      """Upload a mask associated with an original image.
      
      Args:
          file_path: Path to the mask file
          original_ref: Reference to the original image {"filename": "...", "subfolder": "...", "type": "..."}
      """
      with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
          files = {"image": f}
          data = {
              "type": "input",

              files=files,
              data=data
          )
      response.raise_for_status()
      return response.json()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Running Workflows

Submit a workflow for execution.

<Info>
  **Concurrent submissions supported:** Depending on your subscription tier, you can submit multiple workflows without waiting for previous jobs to complete. Jobs run in parallel up to your tier's limit. Additional jobs queue automatically. See [Parallel Execution](/development/deploy/cloud#parallel-execution-concurrent-jobs) for details and concurrency limits.
</Info>

### Submit Workflow

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash curl theme={null}
  curl -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/prompt" \
    -H "X-API-Key: $COMFY_CLOUD_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"prompt": '"$(cat workflow_api.json)"'}'
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  async function submitWorkflow(workflow: Record<string, any>): Promise<string> {
    const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/api/prompt`, {
      method: "POST",
      headers: getHeaders(),
      body: JSON.stringify({ prompt: workflow }),
    });
    if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`);
    const result = await response.json();

    if (result.error) {
      throw new Error(`Workflow error: ${result.error}`);
    }
    return result.prompt_id;
  }

  const workflow = JSON.parse(await readFile("workflow_api.json", "utf-8"));
  const promptId = await submitWorkflow(workflow);
  console.log(`Submitted job: ${promptId}`);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  def submit_workflow(workflow: dict) -> str:
      """Submit a workflow and return the prompt_id (job ID).
      
      Args:
          workflow: ComfyUI workflow in API format
          
      Returns:
          prompt_id for tracking the job
      """
      response = requests.post(
          f"{BASE_URL}/api/prompt",
          headers=get_headers(),
          json={"prompt": workflow}
      )
      response.raise_for_status()
      result = response.json()
      
      if "error" in result:
          raise ValueError(f"Workflow error: {result['error']}")
      
      return result["prompt_id"]

  # Load and submit a workflow
  with open("workflow_api.json") as f:
      workflow = json.load(f)

  prompt_id = submit_workflow(workflow)
  print(f"Submitted job: {prompt_id}")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Using Partner Nodes

If your workflow contains [Partner Nodes](/tutorials/partner-nodes/overview) (nodes that call external AI services like Flux Pro, Ideogram, etc.), you must include your [Comfy API key](/development/api-development/getting-an-api-key) in the `extra_data` field of the request payload.

<Note>
  The ComfyUI frontend automatically packages your API key into `extra_data` when running workflows in the browser. This section is only relevant when calling the API directly.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash curl theme={null}
  curl -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/prompt" \
    -H "X-API-Key: $COMFY_CLOUD_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "prompt": '"$(cat workflow_api.json)"',
      "extra_data": {
        "api_key_comfy_org": "your-comfy-api-key"
      }
    }'
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  async function submitWorkflowWithPartnerNodes(
    workflow: Record<string, any>,
    apiKey: string
  ): Promise<string> {
    const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/api/prompt`, {
      method: "POST",
      headers: getHeaders(),
      body: JSON.stringify({
        prompt: workflow,
        extra_data: {
          api_key_comfy_org: apiKey,
        },
      }),
    });
    if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`);
    const result = await response.json();
    return result.prompt_id;
  }

  // Use when workflow contains Partner Nodes (e.g., Flux Pro, Ideogram, etc.)
  const promptId = await submitWorkflowWithPartnerNodes(workflow, API_KEY);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  def submit_workflow_with_partner_nodes(workflow: dict, api_key: str) -> str:
      """Submit a workflow that uses Partner Nodes.
      
      Args:

          api_key: Your API key from platform.comfy.org
          
      Returns:
          prompt_id for tracking the job
      """
      response = requests.post(
          f"{BASE_URL}/api/prompt",

      return response.json()["prompt_id"]

  # Use when workflow contains Partner Nodes
  prompt_id = submit_workflow_with_partner_nodes(workflow, API_KEY)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  Generate your API key at [platform.comfy.org](https://platform.comfy.org/login). This is the same key used for Cloud API authentication (`X-API-Key` header). See [Getting an API Key](/development/api-development/getting-an-api-key) for step-by-step instructions.
</Info>

### Modify Workflow Inputs

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  function setWorkflowInput(
    workflow: Record<string, any>,
    nodeId: string,

  // Example: Set seed and prompt
  let workflow = JSON.parse(await readFile("workflow_api.json", "utf-8"));
  workflow = setWorkflowInput(workflow, "3", "seed", 12345);
  workflow = setWorkflowInput(workflow, "6", "text", "a beautiful landscape");
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  def set_workflow_input(workflow: dict, node_id: str, input_name: str, value) -> dict:
      """Modify a workflow input value.
      
      Args:

          value: New value
          
      Returns:
          Modified workflow
      """
      if node_id in workflow:
          workflow[node_id]["inputs"][input_name] = value
      return workflow

  # Example: Set seed and prompt
  workflow = set_workflow_input(workflow, "3", "seed", 12345)
  workflow = set_workflow_input(workflow, "6", "text", "a beautiful landscape")
  ```

## Checking Job Status

Poll for job completion.

**Job Status Values:**

The API returns one of the following status values:

| Status                | Description                                      |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `success`             | Job finished successfully. Terminal              |
| `error`               | Job failed. Terminal                             |
| `non_retryable_error` | Job failed and retrying will not help. Terminal  |
| `lost`                | Job disappeared before it could finish. Terminal |
| `cancelled`           | Job was cancelled. Terminal                      |

Those five are the terminal states. Everything else means the job is still in flight, including `submitted`, `queued_waiting`, `preparing`, `executing`, and transitional states such as `cancel_requested`. Poll until you see a terminal value rather than matching on the in-flight names.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash curl theme={null}
  # Poll for job completion
  curl -X GET "$BASE_URL/api/job/{prompt_id}/status" \
    -H "X-API-Key: $COMFY_CLOUD_API_KEY"

  # Response examples:
  # {"status": "queued_waiting"}       - Job is queued
  # {"status": "executing"}            - Job is currently running
  # {"status": "success"}              - Job finished successfully
  # {"status": "error"}                - Job encountered an error
  # {"status": "non_retryable_error"}  - Job failed, retrying will not help
  # {"status": "lost"}                 - Job disappeared before finishing
  # {"status": "cancelled"}            - Job was cancelled

## WebSocket for Real-Time Progress

Connect to the WebSocket for real-time execution updates.

<Note>
  The `clientId` parameter is currently ignored—all connections for a user receive the same messages. Pass a unique `clientId` for forward compatibility.

### WebSocket Message Types

Messages are sent as JSON text frames unless otherwise noted.

| Type                    | Description                                                                              |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `status`                | Queue status update with `queue_remaining` count                                         |
| `notification`          | User-friendly status message (`value` field contains text like "Executing workflow\...") |
| `execution_start`       | Workflow execution has started                                                           |
| `executing`             | A specific node is now executing (node ID in `node` field)                               |
| `progress`              | Step progress within a node (`value`/`max` for sampling steps)                           |
| `progress_state`        | Extended progress state with node metadata (nested `nodes` object)                       |
| `executed`              | Node completed with outputs (images, video, etc. in `output` field)                      |
| `execution_cached`      | Nodes skipped because outputs are cached (`nodes` array)                                 |
| `execution_success`     | Entire workflow completed successfully                                                   |
| `execution_error`       | Workflow failed (includes `exception_type`, `exception_message`, `traceback`)            |
| `execution_interrupted` | Workflow was cancelled by user                                                           |

#### Binary Messages (Preview Images)

During image generation, ComfyUI sends **binary WebSocket frames** containing preview images. These are raw binary data (not JSON):

| Binary Type                   | Value | Description                                   |
| ----------------------------- | ----- | --------------------------------------------- |
| `PREVIEW_IMAGE`               | `1`   | In-progress preview during diffusion sampling |
| `TEXT`                        | `3`   | Text output from nodes (progress text)        |
| `PREVIEW_IMAGE_WITH_METADATA` | `4`   | Preview image with node context metadata      |

**Binary frame formats** (all integers are big-endian):

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="PREVIEW_IMAGE (1)">
    | Offset | Size     | Field        | Description                 |
    | ------ | -------- | ------------ | --------------------------- |
    | 0      | 4 bytes  | `type`       | `0x00000001`                |
    | 4      | 4 bytes  | `image_type` | Format code (1=JPEG, 2=PNG) |
    | 8      | variable | `image_data` | Raw image bytes             |
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="TEXT (3)">

    | 4      | 4 bytes  | `node_id_len` | Length of node\_id string   |
    | 8      | N bytes  | `node_id`     | UTF-8 encoded node ID       |
    | 8+N    | variable | `text`        | UTF-8 encoded progress text |
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="PREVIEW_WITH_METADATA (4)">

    | ------ | -------- | -------------- | ----------------------- |
    | 0      | 4 bytes  | `type`         | `0x00000004`            |
    | 4      | 4 bytes  | `metadata_len` | Length of metadata JSON |
    | 8      | N bytes  | `metadata`     | UTF-8 JSON (see below)  |
    | 8+N    | variable | `image_data`   | Raw JPEG/PNG bytes      |

    **Metadata JSON structure:**

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "node_id": "3",
      "display_node_id": "3",
      "real_node_id": "3",
      "prompt_id": "abc-123",
      "parent_node_id": null
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

## Error Handling

### HTTP Errors

REST API endpoints return standard HTTP status codes:

| Status | Description                                    |
| ------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `400`  | Invalid request (bad workflow, missing fields) |
| `401`  | Unauthorized (invalid or missing API key)      |
| `402`  | Insufficient credits                           |
| `429`  | Subscription inactive                          |
| `500`  | Internal server error                          |

### Execution Errors

During workflow execution, errors are delivered via the `execution_error` WebSocket message. The `exception_type` field identifies the error category:

| Exception Type              | Description                                        |
| --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `ValidationError`           | Invalid workflow or inputs                         |
| `ModelDownloadError`        | Required model not available or failed to download |
| `ImageDownloadError`        | Failed to download input image from URL            |
| `OOMError`                  | Out of GPU memory                                  |
| `InsufficientFundsError`    | Account balance too low (for Partner Nodes)        |
| `InactiveSubscriptionError` | Subscription not active                            |
