Vehicle image editing API

This is the developer reference. For the product overview and use cases, see the vehicle image API page.

AutoStudio is an API-first vehicle-image studio. You send the photos you captured — from a lot, a fleet yard, or a seller upload — and get back clean, consistent, listing-ready images. To be clear about scope:

• We edit your own uploads. AutoStudio is not a stock-photo or VIN image library — it transforms the pictures you provide.
• We are not an ALPR service. We blur license plates for privacy; we do not read, recognize, or look up plate numbers.
• Still images only. No 360° spins or video today.

What the API does

• Background removal & studio replacement tuned for reflective paint, glass, and wheels.
• Image enhancement — color, exposure, and cleanup.
• License-plate & face blur, applied automatically for GDPR and marketplace compliance.
• Per-vehicle-set consistency so every angle of a car matches.
• Automated QA on output before it reaches your listings.

Built for developers

• Clean REST API with predictable JSON.
• Async bulk queue for fleet-scale volumes — submit jobs, get results as they finish.
• Webhooks so you don't have to poll.
• Signed URLs for secure upload and delivery.
• Separate test & live keys — build and CI against a free sandbox.
• Transparent prepaid pricing from about $0.08/image. See pricing.

Quickstart

Create a job by POSTing a base64-encoded image and the operations you want. You'll get a job ID back immediately; results arrive via webhook or by polling the job.

curl https://api.autostudio.ai/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTOSTUDIO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "image_base64": "'"$(base64 -w0 car.jpg)"'",
    "operations": ["background", "enhance", "blur_plate", "blur_face"],
    "background": "studio_light",
    "webhook_url": "https://your-app.example.com/hooks/autostudio"
  }'

The response returns a job in the queued state:

{
  "id": "job_9fA1c2",
  "status": "queued",
  "operations": ["background", "enhance", "blur_plate", "blur_face"]
}

When processing finishes, AutoStudio calls your webhook (or you can GET /v1/jobs/job_9fA1c2) with a signed result_url for the finished image. Full request/response reference, operation options, and language examples live in the API docs.
