# OptikAPI

> OptikAPI provides background removal and optical product preparation for e-commerce images through a synchronous REST API.

Website: https://opticalbackgroundremover.com
API base: https://opticalbackgroundremover.com/api/v1
Authentication: Authorization: Bearer <server-side OptikAPI key>

Each successful image request costs 1 credit. New accounts receive 100 free credits once. Both services share the same credit balance. The public API accepts multipart image uploads and returns JSON containing a base64 image data URL, not raw image bytes.
