## Example Request

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1/prediction/ \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "model": "realistic-background",
  "input": {
    "image": "https://storage.googleapis.com/magicpoint/inputs/editing-image-background-input.jpg"
  }
}'
```

## Output Schema

Response returned by `GET /v1/prediction/{id}` when the job completes:

```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "predictionID": "string",
  "output": "string (URL of generated image)",
  "metrics": {
    "predict_time": "number (seconds)"
  }
}
```

## Polling

```bash
curl https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1/prediction/{PREDICTION_ID} \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| `processing` | Still running — poll again |
| `success` | Done — read `output` |
| `error` | Failed — read `message` / `details` |

## Webhook (alternative to polling)

Pass `"webhook_url": "https://your.host/path"` in the create request. Eachlabs POSTs this payload when the job ends:

```json
{
  "exec_id": "prediction-uuid",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "output": "https://...",
  "error": ""
}
```

`status` is `"succeeded"` or `"failed"`. `exec_id` equals the `predictionID` from create. Return 2xx within 30 seconds.

## Errors

Error body: `{ "status": "error", "message": "...", "details": "..." }`

| Code | Meaning |
|------|---------|
| `400` | Invalid input |
| `401` | Missing / invalid `X-API-Key` |
| `404` | Unknown model or prediction id |
| `429` | Rate limit — 100 creates / min, 10 concurrent per key |
| `5xx` | Retry with backoff |

## Overview

**realistic-background — Image-to-Image AI Model**

Developed by eachlabs as part of the eachlabs family, **realistic-background** is an advanced image-to-image AI model designed for precise background removal in images, delivering clean subjects with seamless transparency or new backdrop integration. This tool solves the common pain point of manual photo editing by automating realistic background extraction, ideal for e-commerce product shots and marketing visuals where speed and quality matter. Users searching for "AI image editor API" or "image to image AI model" find **realistic-background** excels in maintaining subject detail while handling complex edges like hair and fabrics effortlessly.

## Usage Notes

- API Base URL: `https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1`
- Authentication: send `X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY`. Generate a key from the Eachlabs dashboard at https://www.eachlabs.ai/dashboard/api-keys.
- File-typed parameters (`*_url`, `image_url`, `video_url`, `audio_url`, etc.) accept publicly-reachable HTTPS URLs only. Upload your asset first (GCS / S3 / your CDN) and pass the resulting URL. Data-URIs and localhost URLs are rejected.
- For structured parameters (arrays / objects) send real JSON values, not stringified payloads.
- Monetary values are reported in USD; per-token / per-megapixel rates may be billed in micro-cents internally.
- Prefer `webhook_url` over polling for long-running predictions — see the Webhook Callback section.
