Photography — entry 015 of 25
PhotoRoom
PhotoRoom's API takes a product or portrait photo and returns a background-removed, background-generated, or otherwise edited image via a single multipart POST, authenticated with an x-api-key header per its docs at docs.photoroom.com — a separate GitBook site from the marketing homepage. A live CORS preflight against its segmentation endpoint reflected two different arbitrary Origin headers back with credentials enabled, so browser-side calls are supported directly. New accounts get a 1,000-image sandbox allowance for testing plus limited free production calls to the Remove Background endpoint, with paid plans covering higher volume and the full Image Editing API.

- Get a key at the provider
- Send it on every request as a header
Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
