Removes skew from a given image.

HTTP Methods

GET, POST

HTTP Parameters

Required

Fields Type Description
img URL Input image URL. If you want to upload your image directly from your app, then submit a multipart/form-data POST request.
threshold Float Deskew threshold (Max value is set to 255).
key String Your PixLab API Key ↗. You can also embed your key in the WWW-Authenticate: HTTP header and omit this parameter if you want to.

Optional

Fields Type Description
blob Boolean By default, this API endpoint return a JSON Object holding the link to the image output. But, if this parameter is set to true then the image binary contents is returned instead.

POST Request Body

If you plan to use POST instead of a simple GET request:

Allowed Content-Types:

  • multipart/form-data
  • application/json

Use multipart/form-data if you want to upload your image directly (refer to the REST API code samples or The PixLab Github Repository↗ for a working example). If you are using JSON, then your image must be already uploaded somewhere. Call store if you want to upload an image before invoking this endpoint.

HTTP Response

Fields Type Description
status Integer Status code 200 indicates success, any other code indicates failure.
link URL Link to the image output which is usually stored on the pixlab.xyz storage server unless you set your own S3 keys (refer to your dashboard ↗ on how to do that).
id String Unique image ID.
error String Error message if status != 200.

The API returns application/json if the optional blob parameter is not set.

This API endpoint returns a JSON Object after each call only if the optional blob parameter is not set. Otherwise, the image binary contents are returned instead.
