What's free
10 free production calls on the Remove Background API (one-time) plus 1,000 sandbox calls/month on the Image Editing API (watermarked)
Rate limits
1,000 sandbox calls/month; 10 one-time production calls
The catch
No credit card required. Sandbox output is watermarked (for testing); the 10 production calls return clean output. Image editing/generation (AI backgrounds, relighting, shadows).
Quickstart
First-party API — not OpenAI-compatible, so there is no drop-in base URL. The exact endpoint is in the official docs; authenticate with your API key in the Authorization: Bearer header.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
https://<api-base-url>/<endpoint>…or in Python:
import os, requests
r = requests.post(
"https:///",
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['API_KEY']}"},
json={},
)
print(r.json()) Appears in
