No official API
There is no official Midjourney API.
Midjourney sells subscriptions for its Discord bot and web app. It publishes no public API, no key and no per-image price, and its terms ban automated access. Every "Midjourney API" on the market is a third party driving a Midjourney account for you. Of the three APITariff checked, none offers one today.
What that means
You cannot buy Midjourney images per call from Midjourney. There is no key, no rate card and no per-image price to put in a table, so APITariff tracks none.
Unofficial routes run someone else's account. They break when Midjourney changes its bot or enforces its terms. Other third parties still advertise such routes. APITariff lists a route only after checking its public price page by hand, and none is in the index today. Music has the same pattern: the Suno download limit comparison prices one third-party Suno route with a test call on 2026-09-16.
The searchers who land here usually want one of two things: a per-image price for a Midjourney-like model, or a way to automate image generation. Both exist with official APIs. The table further down lists the cheapest ones APITariff tracks.
