Free Midjourney API: 50 requests to start
Midjourney has no free plan and no official API. The cheapest honest way to try it from code: 50 free requests through UserAPI.ai on your own Midjourney account, or UserAPI Cloud from $3 if you have no account.

Questions
Is there a free Midjourney API?
Midjourney itself has no API and no free plan. With UserAPI.ai you get 50 free API requests on your own Midjourney account, no card needed. Without an account, UserAPI Cloud starts at $3 for about 37 images.
What counts as one request?
Every task you start: imagine, upscale, variation, blend, describe and so on, counted when it finishes successfully. Checking a task status is free.
What happens after the 50 free requests?
Nothing is charged automatically. Choose $0.04 per request or $25 a month for unlimited use on your account, or buy UserAPI Cloud tokens.
Do I need a card to start?
No. Register with your email and the free requests are there.
