How to call the Seedream 5.0 Pro API

Seedream 5.0 Pro runs through POST /v1/images/generations. The request returns a job_id right away; poll GET /v1/jobs/{job_id} until the job completes and read the output URLs from the result. Or add "sync": true to skip polling: the request stays open and returns the finished OpenAI-style image response directly, so OpenAI SDKs work as-is. Get an API key from the EmpirioLabs dashboard.
