# Use SwitchX with Comfy Router

> Call beeble/switchx through Comfy Router: endpoint, request shape and the response Router returns.

API Reference for `beeble/switchx`, served by Comfy Router from Beeble.

## Quick start

Create a key at [platform.comfy.org/profile/api-keys](https://platform.comfy.org/profile/api-keys) and export it as `COMFY_API_KEY`. The Python and TypeScript snippets use the Comfy SDKs (`pip install comfy-sdk`, `npm install @comfyorg/sdk`); the cURL snippet is the same call over raw HTTP.

**Model ID:** `beeble/switchx`

**Endpoint:** `POST https://api.comfy.org/v2/models/beeble/switchx`

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  from comfy_sdk import Comfy

  # Reads COMFY_API_KEY from the environment. Each call sends a fresh
  # Idempotency-Key and waits up to 10 minutes for the finished result.
  with Comfy() as client:
      result = client.models.run(
          "beeble/switchx",
          {
              "alpha_mode": "auto",
              "generation_type": "image",
              "max_resolution": 720,
              "prompt": "A cinematic product photo of a glass lamp on a marble table",
              "source_uri": "https://img.freepik.com/free-photo/portrait-woman_395237-33.jpg?w=740&q=80",
          },
      )

  print(result)
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  import { comfy } from "@comfyorg/sdk";

  // Reads COMFY_API_KEY from the environment. Each call sends a fresh
  // Idempotency-Key and waits up to 10 minutes for the finished result.
  const { data } = await comfy.models.run("beeble/switchx", {
    alpha_mode: "auto",
    generation_type: "image",
    max_resolution: 720,
    prompt: "A cinematic product photo of a glass lamp on a marble table",
    source_uri: "https://img.freepik.com/free-photo/portrait-woman_395237-33.jpg?w=740&q=80",
  });

  console.log(data);
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl https://api.comfy.org/v2/models/beeble/switchx \
    -H "X-API-Key: $COMFY_API_KEY" \
    -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \

## Schema

### Input

<ParamField body="alpha_mode" type="string" required>
  Alpha mode: auto, fill, custom, or select

  Possible values: `auto`, `fill`, `custom`, `select`
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="alpha_uri" type="string">
  URI of a custom alpha matte. Required when alpha\_mode is custom or select. Ignored for auto or fill.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="callback_url" type="string">
  HTTPS URL for webhook notification on completion or failure.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="generation_type" type="string" required>
  Output type: image or video

  Possible values: `image`, `video`
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="idempotency_key" type="string">
  Idempotency key for safe retries. If a job with the same key already exists for your account, the API returns the existing job's status instead of creating a duplicate.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="max_resolution" type="integer" default="1080">
  Maximum output resolution: 720 or 1080 (default: 1080).
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="prompt" type="string">
  Text description of desired output (max 2,000 chars). At least one of prompt or reference\_image\_uri is required.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="reference_image_uri" type="string">
  URI of the reference image for style transfer. Accepts the same URI types as source\_uri.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="source_uri" type="string" required>
  URI of the source image or video. Accepts beeble://uploads/\{id}/\{filename}, https URLs, or data:\{mime};base64 URIs (max 50 MB).
</ParamField>

Generated from the schema Router serves at `GET /v2/models/beeble/switchx/openapi.json`, the same document it validates a call against before the request reaches the provider.

## Before you ship

The snippets above are the shortest working call. Three things are the same for every model and are documented once on the [Comfy Router headers](/development/comfy-router/headers) page: send an `Idempotency-Key` on every paid call and reuse it when you retry, expect the connection to be held up to Router's 10 minute deadline, and keep `X-Comfy-Request-Id` from every response. The SDKs do all three for you; the cURL tab does none of them. On failure, `X-Comfy-Error-Type` names the bucket, and a `422` means the body failed the model's schema and was never billed.
