API Reference
Rate Limit
Theoretically, you can process up to 500 images per minute through the API. In reality, this number is heavily depending on your image resolution in megapixels as well as your internet speed.
Examples
| Input image | Megapixels | Effective Rate Limit |
|---|---|---|
| 625 x 400 | 1 MP | 500 images per minute |
| 1200 x 800 | 1 MP | 500 images per minute |
| 1600 x 1200 | 2 MP | 500 / 2 = 250 images per minute |
| 2500 x 1600 | 4 MP | 500 / 4 = 125 images per minute |
| 4000 x 2500 | 10 MP | 500 / 10 = 50 images per minute |
| 6250 x 4000 | 25 MP | 500 / 25 = 20 images per minute |
