Developer API
Plug and play AI image detection and content moderation for your applications. Get accurate, forensic-grade JSON intelligence in milliseconds.
Available for Premium & Enterprise
To ensure high availability and dedicated compute resources for production environments, our API is exclusively available to users on our Premium and Enterprise tiers.
# Example Request Header
curl -X POST https://api.sightova.com/v1/detect \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"url": "https://example.com/image.jpg"}'
Plug and Play Architecture
We built our API to be instantly deployable. No complex SDKs or training required. Just send an image, get probabilities.
Generate API Key
Upgrade to Premium or Enterprise. Navigate to the API Keys section in your dashboard to generate a secure, scoped Bearer token.
Send Request
Send a POST request to our endpoint. You can pass either a publicly accessible image URL or upload a base64 encoded image directly.
Parse JSON
Receive a highly structured JSON response detailing AI generation probability, specific model matches, and content moderation flags.
Clear, Actionable Data
The API returns a deterministic probability matrix. We break down the likelihood of the image being synthetic, identify the likely generative model, and flag any NSFW or harmful content.
- "ai_generated" float (0.0 to 1.0)
- Detailed generator breakdown (Midjourney, DALL-E, etc.)
- Status and request tracking IDs
"status": "success",
"request": {
"id": "req_123abc",
"operations": 1
},
"type": {
"ai_generated": 0.98,
"ai_generators": {
"midjourney": 0.91,
"dalle": 0.05
}
}
}
Honest Capabilities & Limits
We believe in transparency. Our AI detection models are trained on millions of parameters and boast high accuracy, but generative AI is a rapidly evolving arms race.
- Probabilities, not Certainties: The API returns a confidence score (0.0 to 1.0). A score of 0.99 means we are highly confident the image is AI, but false positives and false negatives can occur.
- Image Manipulation: Heavy compression, resizing, or intentional adversarial noise added to an image can degrade detection accuracy.
- Intended Use: Use Sightova's API as a robust filtering layer or a crucial data point in your moderation queue, rather than a standalone absolute truth for critical legal decisions.
