Services

External hosted services this project depends on.

useknockout background-removal API

What: The remote HTTP API this SDK is a client for. Provides background removal and subject-aware image operations (replace background, mask, smart crop, shadow, sticker, outline, silhouette, studio shot, headshot, upscale, face restore, colorize, inpaint, compare, preview, estimate, health, stats).
Default endpoint: https://useknockout--api.modal.run (hosted on Modal). Overridable via the base_url constructor argument for self-hosted deployments.
Auth: Bearer token, resolved from the token= argument, the KNOCKOUT_TOKEN environment variable, or a built-in public beta token (free, rate-limited).
Open source / self-hostable: API code at https://github.com/useknockout/api (deployable with modal deploy).

What: Python Package Index — the distribution channel for this SDK.
Package: useknockout
Role: Where the built wheel / sdist are published and from where users pip install useknockout.

Notes:

Modal is the underlying compute platform that hosts the API, but it is consumed transitively through the useknockout API endpoint — the SDK does not talk to Modal directly.
No analytics, logging, database, or other third-party hosted services are used by the SDK itself.
