API reference

HazeFix API

The full pipeline — de-haze, flatten, 4× upscale, quantize, SVG trace — behind three REST endpoints. Create a job, poll it, download the files.

BASE URL

https://api.hazefix.com

This is the only supported origin — there is no same-origin fallback. The web Studio talks to it too, via a signed-in session cookie instead of a bearer key.

Authentication

Pass your key as a bearer token on every request. Create keys from your account dashboard — the full secret is shown once, on creation. Keys are metered at ~$0.03 per completed image on the API plan; failed jobs are never billed.

AUTH HEADER

Authorization: Bearer hzfx_live_…

Create a job

POST/api/v1/jobs

Send the image as multipart/form-data. Returns 202 Accepted immediately; processing typically finishes in 15–30 seconds with the GPU pass, under 10 without it.

image

filerequired

The image to fix — png, jpeg or webp, up to 24 MB.

preset

string

One of logo, clipart (default), illustration, lineart. Sets the palette size and export defaults.

k

integer · 2–64

Palette-size override. Leave unset to use the preset value.

upscale

boolean · default true

Run the illustration-tuned 4× GPU upscale (stage C).

svg

boolean · default true

Trace a true SVG from the quantized result (stage E).

CURL

curl -s https://api.hazefix.com/api/v1/jobs \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HAZEFIX_API_KEY" \  -F "[email protected]" \  -F "preset=clipart" \  -F "upscale=true" \  -F "svg=true"

Poll a job

GET/api/v1/jobs/:id

Poll every second or two until status is done or error. Finished jobs include before/after quality metrics and per-stage timings — useful for asserting output quality in automated flows.

CURL

curl -s https://api.hazefix.com/api/v1/jobs/$JOB_ID \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HAZEFIX_API_KEY"

Rate limits

Every request — bearer key or session cookie — is metered against your account’s monthly quota (10 images on Free, 500 on Pro). Going over returns 429 rate_limited. Need more? The API plan is uncapped and metered per image, with volume pricing at 10k+ images a month.
