Gpt-image-1 image progression/status like in the app

API

I didn’t see in the API docs anywhere if it’s possible to retrieve image generation/edit progress using gpt-image-1. In the app (iOS), when I request an image, to combat the generation time, a periodic image display over time with an opacity layer progress effect is shown. Is this reproducible or only something OpenAI is allowing from their own clients?

I’m using the openai-python library by the way, specifically images.edit() method.

As of writing this post, there’s no documented parameter that lets you stream images as they are generated. However, since you’re using the /edits endpoint, you can implement a preview effect on your end by displaying a blurred preview of the image submitted for editing while the actual image is being generated.
