5. As you submit after naming it, you will find your API Key values in the API Dashboard.
6. You have successfully created an API, there will be three buttons in your API box, and each has a different function, The first one looks like an eye it’s to see the API key values, using the second you can copy directly, and the third one to track the usage.

Whether you are working with Python, Java, or PHP, you can easily add Slazzer’s background removal API to your application or website. However, it is important to choose the language that best suits your needs.

Whichever language you choose, Slazzer’s API libraries make integration a breeze. These libraries provide pre-built functions and methods, saving you time and effort and allowing you to interact with the API directly and efficiently.

 

1. Head over to the Tools and API Section, and select read API Docs, you will be headed to the API Docs Page.
2. As you move down the page you will see the library support and prebuilt functions.
3. For this blog example, we will be using Python, but you can use whatever you want. 

3. Add the API Key to Your Code

Your codebase could be different, find the place where you want to implement the background removal functionality. And follow the steps. 

1. We will be using the Python code that we got from the API Docs Python section.
2. Now you need to, add 
   1. Replace YOU_SLAZZER_API_KEY with the API key we generated earlier. 
   2. Add image path, it can be URL, Directory(for bulk editing), or image saved on your Device

And it’s done. Here are the images we ran through the API, see the high-quality results we got. 

First Image, Original Image: 

Result: 

Above was a general implementation of the API. The API will return a response if any error is found or else it will return the output image. 

 

The above images look odd, right? Let’s modify the API call to customize the output image more. 

Adjust Your Results More

Slazzer offers multiple editing options for your images. Here are the things you can optimize for: 

 

1. Background Change – You can change the background from, URL, Base64 string, or Color Code from the Image Location on the Device.
2. Crop – It will crop all extra transparent pixels, by default it is false, if the parameters are set to true you can make further edits, and full details on the API Docs. 
3. Crop Margin – This will only work when the crop is applied (crop=True). The default value of this parameter is 0px. It supports input values in multiple ways, you can read more in the API Docs. 
4. Scale – It scales the subject in the output image
5. Position – It places the subject within the image canvas. Works only when the Scale is given. 
6. Region of Interest – Only the contents within the selected rectangular area are considered as the foreground, while everything outside this area is treated as the background and removed.
7. Car Shadow – It adds an artificial shadow to Car Images, it is the default on car images.  
8. Channel – The image channel(red, green, blue, alpha) in RGBA or alpha mask format. rgba is the default parameter and returns an alpha mask when the value is set to alpha.
9. Preview – Default value: false. If true it will resize the image to 0.25 megapixels. Also, 0.20 Credits will be charged when using this.  

Let’s see some of them in action. 

We will now change the background from an image. 

1. Here we specified the paths to your source image and the new background image.
2. Also, include the car_shadow parameter to add a shadow to the image.

 

Let’s see the results. 

This was our Original Image: 

We will use the below image as a background image:

Here is the high-quality result:

Shadow feature as of now works only with car images, we will be rolling out for other images soon. 

This was, about the background removal API and how it works. You can edit multiple images at once with the API. As the API is available for all the major programming languages, just find out what goes with your codebase and you are ready to go.
