API documentation
Run wildlife detection from your own application: send an image, get back the animals in it. The first 250 images each month are free, Detection jobs included. Start with the quickstart, or try requests in the playground before writing any code.
Pricing is one meter: every processed image counts the same, there are no per-feature fees, and your spend cap is a hard stop. Nothing billable is ever switched on for you.
Getting started
Create an API key, authenticate a request, and send your first image.

Errors and request ids
One error handler for the whole API: the fields every error body carries, the codes, and the request id to quote to support.
Open error reference →
Idempotency
Retry safely: send an Idempotency-Key and a request that already succeeded is never billed twice.

Test images
Free, unmetered fixture images with frozen responses for integration tests and CI.
