ComfyUI Cloud API
Run ComfyUI-style AI workflows in the cloud via a simple REST API — no local GPU, no setup, no infrastructure overhead.

We spent 50+ hours benchmarking AI models for comfyui cloud api while building Wireflow, documenting which settings and configurations produce the best outputs. The workflow below reflects what we learned.
ComfyUI in the Cloud via REST API
ComfyUI popularized node-based AI workflow design, but it runs locally and requires a dedicated GPU. Deploying it to the cloud — and wrapping it in a reliable API — typically means managing containers, GPU instances, cold starts, and custom endpoints. Most teams spend weeks on infrastructure before writing a single API call.
Wireflow takes a different approach. Workflows are built visually using a node canvas, and every published workflow is immediately accessible via POST /api/v1/workflows/{id}/execute. Authentication uses a standard bearer token. Execution is asynchronous — you get an executionId back, then poll GET /workflows/executions/{id}/poll until the job completes. No GPU procurement, no container orchestration, no custom server.
The API supports the same node types available in the UI: image generation (Flux 2 Pro, Recraft V4, Nano Banana 2), video generation (Kling, Veo3), post-processing (upscaling, background removal), and LLM-based prompt expansion. You send inputs, the cloud executes the graph, and you receive outputs — exactly the workflow pattern ComfyUI users already know, without the infrastructure burden.
API Capabilities
Async execution with polling
Every workflow call returns an executionId immediately. Poll the status endpoint until COMPLETED or FAILED — no blocking, no timeouts on your client.
Bearer token authentication
Generate API keys from the dashboard under Settings. Keys begin with sk- and are scoped to specific operations: execute, read, or usage.
Webhook callbacks
Trigger workflows without credentials using a webhook URL, or receive callbacks when long-running jobs complete — useful for Zapier, CI pipelines, and form submissions.
Idempotent requests
Send an Idempotency-Key header on POST /execute. Duplicate requests within 24 hours replay the original response, preventing double charges on retries.
Per-plan rate limits with headers
Every response includes X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset so your client can back off gracefully before hitting 429.
157 node types available
From Flux 2 Pro and Kling video to background removal and LLM prompt expansion — the same nodes in the UI are fully callable from the API.
More Than Just ComfyUI Cloud API
No GPU required to run workflows
Execute ComfyUI-style pipelines from any machine with an HTTP client. Wireflow handles cloud GPU allocation per request — explore the ComfyUI alternative comparison for a full breakdown.

Every workflow is a callable API
Publish a workflow once and call it repeatedly from your app, script, or CI pipeline. The AI workflow API surface handles auth, queuing, and output delivery.

Reliable async execution model
Long-running jobs don't block your client. The async pattern — execute, get an ID, poll — is standard HTTP and works without SDKs. Read the guide on how to run batch image generation via API for a working example.

Video generation via the same API
Kling and Veo3 video nodes are callable through the same POST /execute endpoint. See the Kling AI API page for request structure and latency expectations.

Predictable rate limits, clear error codes
The free plan allows 50 executions per day; Pro allows 1,000. Every 429 includes a retryAfter value. A practical intro is in how to build AI workflows without code in 2026.
