Hey @shaheer_riaz hope all is good. Welcome to the community.

Have you tried running your request with curl from cli? (just to get a baseline of whether it is working at all for you)

I am pretty new to automations and i know very basic coding.

how can i execute the step you are reffering to? I was unable to find curl for the specific model i am trying to post to?

I have no idea whats cli..!

I have added the header with authorization and the key <>

If you want to import the curl command in n8n, use only this part:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://queue.fal.run/fal-ai/flux-pro/v1.1-ultra \
  --header "Authorization: Key $FAL_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
     "prompt": "Extreme close-up of a single tiger eye, direct frontal view. Detailed iris and pupil. Sharp focus on eye texture and color. Natural lighting to capture authentic eye shine and depth. The word \"FLUX\" is painted over it in big, white brush strokes with visible texture."
   }'

and don’t forget to substitute the FAL_KEY with yours.
