Can the OpenAI API Generate Detailed Text Descriptions from Images?

Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
Is there a built-in endpoint in the OpenAI API for generating rich text descriptions (like captions) from images? I need a way to convert images submitted via the API into textual descriptions, essentially the reverse of the text-to-image process.
I have explored image generation from text prompts, but that does not meet my requirement of deriving descriptions from images. Are there any existing solutions or alternative third-party approaches for image captioning using an API?

Answer:
At the moment, the OpenAI API focuses on generating images based on text prompts and/or input images, rather than producing textual descriptions (i.e. captions) of images. The functionality available allows for image generation from provided inputs, but there isn’t a built-in API endpoint for generating rich text descriptions from an image.
If image captioning is essential for your application, you might need to consider alternative approaches or third-party solutions dedicated to that task.
