🚀Quick Start

Good to know:

• Your API key is unique to your account and must be kept secure. Do not share it publicly.

• If your API key is compromised, you can regenerate a new one from your RapidAPI dashboard.

• The API supports various image formats such as JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP for background removal.

• API requests must include the correct headers to ensure authentication and proper content processing.

• Rate limits may apply based on your subscription tier, so check your usage limits in the RapidAPI dashboard.

🔑 Get your API keys

Your API requests require authentication using an API key. Any request without a valid API key will return an error.

To get started:

1. Sign up on RapidAPI and subscribe to the Background Remover API.

2. Obtain your API key from your RapidAPI dashboard.

📌 Note: Keep your API key secure and do not share it publicly. If your key is compromised, you can regenerate a new one from the RapidAPI dashboard.

Make your first request

Here’s how you can quickly test the Background Remover API by making a simple request to remove the background from an image:

Good to know:

• To remove a background from an image, simply upload the image file in the request body. The API processes the image and returns a URL to the edited version.

• Ensure the request includes the correct headers, including your API key for authentication.

• Keep an eye on rate limits based on your subscription plan to avoid request failures.

• In case of errors, check the response message for details on invalid parameters, authentication issues, or unsupported file formats. You could also check status codes.

Take a look at how you might call this method using curl:

Node

const axios = require('axios');

const encodedParams = new URLSearchParams();

const options = {
  method: 'POST',
  url: 'https://remove-background18.p.rapidapi.com/public/remove-background',
  headers: {
    'x-rapidapi-key': '45dd2c909emshc6860efd9bad512p1ba614jsn2ad6c4147afd',
    'x-rapidapi-host': 'remove-background18.p.rapidapi.com',
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    accept: 'application/json'
  },
  data: encodedParams,
};

try {
	const response = await axios.request(options);
	console.log(response.data);
} catch (error) {
	console.error(error);
}
