This project provides a free proxy service for OpenAI's DALL·E 3 image generation model, targeting developers and users seeking an alternative to direct API access. It simplifies integration by offering an OpenAI-standard API endpoint, powered by bots on the Coze platform (Telegram, Discord).

How It Works

The proxy acts as an intermediary, routing requests to DALL·E 3 via Coze bots. This approach leverages existing bot infrastructure to bypass direct API authentication, offering a "free" access method. The service exposes a standard /v1/images/generations endpoint, accepting typical DALL·E parameters like prompt, size, and number of images.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Docker: docker run -it -p 8000:8000 -v $PWD/data:/app/data --name free-dall-e-proxy feiyuyu/free-dall-e-proxy
• Python: pip install -r requirements.txt followed by python main.py or uvicorn main:api.app.
• Prerequisites: Requires configuration of agents on the Coze platform and setting up credentials in data/.env.example.
• Docs: how_to_create_coze_agent

Licensing & Compatibility

• The repository is open-source, intended for educational purposes. Specific license details are not explicitly stated in the README, but the disclaimer suggests it is not for commercial or illegal activities.

Limitations & Caveats

The service relies on third-party Coze bots, which may have their own rate limits, availability, or policy changes that could affect the proxy's functionality. The "free" nature implies potential instability or unreliability compared to official paid services.
