Required permissions:
POST https://api.voicecheap.ai/v1/actions/images_download
Authentication and permissions
string
required
Send a VoiceCheap API key in this header. Authorization: Bearer with the same API key is also supported. OAuth access tokens are accepted only by
MCP, not by this REST endpoint.
images:read.
An active paid subscription is required. Permissions do not change team roles, resource ownership, media credits, or plan limits.
Parameters
string
required
Generation ID returned by a generation or history action.Pattern:
^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,128}$.Complete input schema
Complete input schema
The JSON Schema below preserves the exact field names, nested types, defaults, bounds, and accepted values exposed by discovery. Additional cross-field rules are listed in the operation notes.

Response
A successful first execution returns HTTP 200 with the operation result under data. A replay may return saved request state instead. The example shows one supported response, not every optional field. The generated PNG returned as a base64 string in data, accompanied by generationId and mimeType. This is a JSON object, not a binary HTTP body or download URL.{
"data": {
"generationId": "6224018c7635dcb933ce5c8f7804aea73738dd1c",
"mimeType": "image/png",
"data": "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAIAAACQd1PeAAAACXBIWXMAAAPoAAAD6AG1e1JrAAAADElEQVQImWP4+vUrAAXCAuD7W1s+AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"
}
}
Result fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
data.generationId | Identifier of the downloaded generation. |
data.mimeType | image/png. |
data.data | Base64-encoded PNG bytes with no data: URL prefix. |
Operation notes
- Requires images:read. generationId must contain 1–128 ASCII letters, digits, underscores, or hyphens.
- This action uses the connected user’s own creations and uploads, including when the credential is connected in a team context.
- Only a completed, owned app image with a stored file and expiresAt in the future is downloadable. Account images expire seven days after creation.
- The decoded PNG must be at most 8 MiB (8,388,608 bytes). Base64 encoding makes the JSON string larger than the binary file.
- Decode data as base64 to save the PNG. There is no data: URL prefix. Over MCP the server emits native image content and a text block containing generationId instead of this ordinary JSON result.
Usage
Each successful invocation consumes one monthly API/MCP call. Media credits and the operation’s own generation allowances also apply.Errors
| HTTP status | Code | Meaning or recovery |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | CREDENTIAL_IN_QUERY | Credentials were supplied in an access_token or api_key query parameter. Send credentials in headers. |

| 401 | INVALID_CREDENTIAL | The Authorization header is malformed or conflicts with x-api-key. |
| 401 | MISSING_CREDENTIAL | No usable header credential was supplied, or it exceeded 4096 characters. |
| 401 | USER_NOT_FOUND | The credential’s account no longer exists. |
| 403 | AMBIGUOUS_TEAM_API_KEY | The credential’s user belongs to more than one team, so the billing context is ambiguous. |
