 ## Examples
 See what ComfyUI can do with the [newer template workflows](https://comfy.org/workflows) or old [example workflows](https://comfyanonymous.github.io/ComfyUI_examples/).
 
+## API
+
+If you want to automate local ComfyUI runs or integrate it into another tool:
+
+- `openapi.yaml` documents the newer `/api/*` endpoints, including `POST /api/prompt`, `GET /api/queue`, and `GET /api/jobs/{job_id}`.
+- [`script_examples/`](script_examples/README.md) contains small Python examples for the local scripting endpoints and websocket flow.
+- In the UI, use `File -> Export (API)` to export the current workflow in API format before sending it to the backend.
+
 ## Features
 - Nodes/graph/flowchart interface to experiment and create complex Stable Diffusion workflows without needing to code anything.
 - NOTE: There are many more models supported than the list below, if you want to see what is supported see our templates list inside ComfyUI.

+# API Script Examples
+
+This folder contains small Python examples for driving a local ComfyUI server from code.
+
+## Files
+
+- `basic_api_example.py`: submits a workflow exported from `File -> Export (API)`.
+- `websockets_api_example.py`: submits a workflow, waits for completion over websocket, and then fetches generated images from history.
+- `websockets_api_example_ws_images.py`: streams image bytes directly through the websocket with `SaveImageWebsocket` instead of saving files to disk first.
+
+## What These Examples Use
+
+These scripts target the local scripting routes exposed by `server.py`:
+
+- `POST /prompt`
+- `GET /history/{prompt_id}`
+- `GET /queue`
+- `GET /view`
+- `GET /ws`
+
+For the newer documented REST API, see [`openapi.yaml`](../openapi.yaml). In particular:
+
+- `POST /api/prompt`
+- `GET /api/queue`
+- `GET /api/jobs/{job_id}`
+
+## Usage Notes
+
+1. Start ComfyUI locally, which defaults to `127.0.0.1:8188`.
+2. Load or create a workflow in the UI.
+3. Export the workflow with `File -> Export (API)`.
+4. Replace the sample `prompt_text` in one of these scripts with the exported JSON if needed.
+5. Make sure the referenced models and nodes are available in your local ComfyUI install.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `basic_api_example.py` uses only the Python standard library.
+- The websocket examples also require `websocket-client`.
+
+Install it with:
+
+```bash
+pip install websocket-client
+```
