# CodeFormer API

> Model voor gezichtsherstel dat vervaagde of vervormde portretten repareert, met optionele gezichtsuitlijning en opschalen

Herstelt gezichten van personen in een beschadigde of wazige foto via `image_url`. `fidelity` balanceert restauratie tegen het oorspronkelijke uiterlijk (standaard 0.5), en `upscale_factor` vergroot de uitvoer (standaard 2). Schakelaars zijn onder meer `only_center_face`, `aligned` en `face_upscale`; een `seed` maakt resultaten reproduceerbaar.

- Model id: `codeformer`
- Made by: Open model
- Category: Image Editing
- Output: image
- Price per megapixel of your output image: $0.0021 / megapixel of output image (cheapest run $0.003 (3 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/codeformer`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/codeformer`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/nl/developers/models/codeformer

## Pricing

Price: **$0.0021 / megapixel of output image**. Price per megapixel of your output image: the input files are measured before the run (length, resolution, frame rate). The quote measures the same files and is exactly what the run charges.

The full example input below costs $0.009 = 9 API credits (4.1943 MP output image × $0.0021).

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/codeformer` 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `image_url` | `image` | string (image URL) | yes |  |  | URL die verwijst naar de afbeelding die opnieuw wordt belicht. |
| `fidelity` |  | number | no | `0.5` |  | Gewicht dat aan de getrouwheidsfactor wordt toegewezen. |
| `upscale_factor` |  | number | no | `2` | ≥ 1 | Vermenigvuldiger die tijdens opschaling wordt toegepast. |
| `aligned` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Of gezichten en vergelijkbare kenmerken moeten worden uitgelijnd. |
| `only_center_face` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Of restauratie wordt beperkt tot het centrale gezicht. |
| `face_upscale` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Of opschaling op gezichten moet worden toegepast. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Willekeurige seed die reproduceerbare generatie mogelijk maakt. |

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_fox_cartoon.jpg"
}
```

A fuller example:

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

## 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/codeformer?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.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/codeformer?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.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_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/codeformer", 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": "codeformer",
      "input": {
        "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.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.
