# BiRefNet V2 Background Removal API

> Open background removal at matting hanggang 2304 px, na may opsyonal na mask output.

Inihihiwalay ng BiRefNet V2 ang subject sa background gamit ang ilang variant ng modelo (light, heavy, matting, portrait, dynamic) at operating resolution hanggang 2304x2304. Ibinabalik nito ang cut-out at opsyonal ang mask sa PNG, WebP o GIF.

- Model id: `birefnet/v2`
- Made by: BiRefNet
- Category: Background Removal
- Output: image
- Estimated price per run: $0.002 / run (cheapest run $0.002 (2 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/birefnet/v2`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/birefnet/v2`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/fil/developers/models/birefnet/v2

## Pricing

Price: **$0.002 / run**. Estimated from the typical cost of one run. The quote is exactly what the run charges.

The full example input below costs $0.002 = 2 API credits (1 request × 2 API credits).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/birefnet/v2` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native field name (not both). Canonical names are the same across models.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `model` |  | enum (string) | no | `General Use (Light)` | `General Use (Light)`, `General Use (Light 2K)`, `General Use (Heavy)`, `Matting`, `Portrait`, `General Use (Dynamic)` | Pagpili ng modelo para sa pag-aalis ng background: ang 'General Use (Light)' ay tumutugma sa BiRefNet, orihinal na modelo ng BiRefNet repository, at inirerekomenda para sa karamihan ng gamit. Ang 'General Use (Light 2K)' ay tumutugma sa BiRefNet_lite-2K at gumagamit ng orihinal na modelong sinanay sa mga larawang 2K. Ang 'General Use (Heavy)' ay tumutugma sa BiRefNet_lite at nagbibigay ng mas mataas na accuracy ngunit mas mabagal ang pagproseso. Ang 'Matting' ay tumutugma sa BiRefNet-matting at partikular na sinanay para sa larawan matting. Ang 'Portrait' ay tumutugma sa BiRefNet-portrait at partikular na sinanay sa mga portrait na larawan. Ang 'General Use (Dynamic)' ay tumutugma sa BiRefNet_dynamic at sumusuporta sa variable na resolution mula 256x256 hanggang 2304x2304. |
| `operating_resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `1024x1024` | `1024x1024`, `2048x2048`, `2304x2304` | Working resolution, kung saan ang '2304x2304' ay limitado sa modelong 'General Use (Dynamic)'. Para sa mga input larawan na mataas ang resolution, pinapahusay ng mas mataas na setting ang accuracy ng output. |
| `output_mask` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Kinokontrol kung isasama sa output ang mask para sa pag-aalis ng background. |
| `refine_foreground` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Kinokontrol ang refinement ng foreground batay sa tinatayang mask. |
| `image_url` | `image` | string (image URL) | yes |  |  | URL na tumutukoy sa larawang aalisan ng background. |
| `output_format` |  | enum (string) | no | `png` | `webp`, `png`, `gif` | Format ng resultang larawan. |
| `mask_only` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Switch para sa mask-only output: nilalampasan ng `True` ang foreground refinement at hindi binabago ang larawan, at ibinabalik lamang ang segmentation mask nito. Kapag mask lang ang kailangan, iniiwasan nito ang dagdag na computation at binabawasan ang naililipat na data. |

File parameters (`image`) take a public `https://` URL, a `data:` URI up to 10 MB, or the `file_url` of an upload from `POST /files`.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "image": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_sneaker_ad.jpg"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json

}
```

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/birefnet/v2?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "image": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_sneaker_ad.jpg"
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:
curl "https://api.doitong.com/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
const API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1";
const headers = {
  "Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.DOITONG_API_KEY,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

// Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
let res = await fetch(API + "/run/birefnet/v2?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "image": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_sneaker_ad.jpg"
  }),
});
let request = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(request.error.code + ": " + request.error.message);

// Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while (request.status === "queued" || request.status === "running") {
  res = await fetch(API + "/requests/" + request.id + "?wait=20", { headers });
  request = await res.json();
}
if (request.status !== "succeeded") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(request.error));
console.log(request.outputs.map((o) => o.url), request.cost.credits + " API credits ($" + request.cost.usd + ")");
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "image": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_sneaker_ad.jpg",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/birefnet/v2", params={"wait": 20}, json=payload, headers=headers)
request = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"]["code"] + ": " + request["error"]["message"])

# Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while request["status"] in ("queued", "running"):
    request = requests.get(API + "/requests/" + request["id"], params={"wait": 20}, headers=headers).json()
if request["status"] != "succeeded":
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"])
print([o["url"] for o in request["outputs"]], request["cost"]["credits"], "API credits", "$" + request["cost"]["usd"])
```

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.com/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "birefnet/v2",
      "input": {
        "image": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_sneaker_ad.jpg"
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.
