# Get variations on a generated image

`POST /v3/ai/image-generations/{generationRequestId}/images/{index}/variations`

# AI Generator - Generate Variations

Generate image variations from a previously-generated image.

## The Image Variation Request

The `ImageVariationRequest` payload to be posted contains the optional
parameters:

| Parameter           | Purpose                                                                                                                                                                                      |
|---------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `product_id`        | If you have multiple AI Generation Getty Images products, indicate which one you would like to use for this generation request.  If you have multiple products, this property is _required_. Can be retrieved from products (`GET /v3/products`). |
| `notes`             | This is an optional free text parameter often used by clients who wish to include notes specific to their integration. This is for use by Getty Images customers only (not iStock). The products endpoint (`GET /v3/products`) provides this information.                                                                                                                                       |
| `project_code`      | If your Getty Images Generative AI product requires project_codes, use of this parameter is required. If your product does not require a project_code, this parameter must be excluded from the request. This is for use by Getty Images customers only (not iStock). The products endpoint (`GET /v3/products`) provides this information.                                                                                                                  |

## Fulfilled and Pending Results

In many cases the result of this call will be the final fulfilled result. In these cases, you will see a `HTTP 200 OK`
result and a payload including URLs to the result images and a generation request `id` value.

However some generations may take more time than can be accommodated in the initial call. In these cases the result of
this call is `HTTP 202 Accepted` and the payload will only contain a generation request `id` value. This value must be
retained by the client for subsequent polling of the `GET v3/ai/image-generations/{generationRequestId}` Get Images Generation endpoint.

## Lifetime of Generated Images

Generated images will be retained for 6 months after generation.
