Vehicle image API

Most car background-removal APIs are generic image tools wearing an automotive label. AutoStudio's vehicle image API is tuned specifically for cars — reflective paint, glass, and wheels — and bundles the two things automotive teams actually need alongside background removal: consistent studio replacement across a whole vehicle set, and automatic license-plate/face blur for compliance. It edits your own uploaded photos; it is not a stock-image or VIN library.

What the API does

• Car background removal & studio replacement — swap any backdrop for a clean, consistent studio scene.
• Enhancement — color, exposure, and cleanup tuned for vehicle photography.
• License-plate & face blur, applied automatically for privacy and marketplace compliance — see GDPR & vehicle photos.
• Per-vehicle-set consistency — every angle of the same car shares the same background and treatment.

Quickstart

Authenticate with a bearer token, POST one or more base64-encoded images, and get a job back immediately. Results land via webhook or by polling the job — the same shape used throughout the full API reference.

curl -X POST https://api.autostudio.ai/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTOSTUDIO_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "preset_id": "default",
    "images": [
      { "filename": "front.jpg", "content_base64": "<base64>", "shot_type_hint": "front_3q" }
    ]
  }'

A minute-one integration test: request a job, poll GET /v1/jobs/{id} until it completes, then fetch the signed rendition URL. The docs cover the full job lifecycle, endpoint reference, webhook payloads, rate limits, and SDK snippets in curl, Python, and Node.

Built for integration, not another app

• Clean, predictable JSON responses.
• Async bulk queue for fleet- and marketplace-scale volumes.
• Webhooks, so you don't have to poll.
• Signed URLs for secure delivery.
• Separate test/live keys — build and run CI against a free sandbox.
• Transparent prepaid pricing from about $0.08/image — see pricing.
