Introduction

The Artguru Open API gives you programmatic access to Artguru's AI photo enhancement models — the same pipelines behind artguru.ai.

Base URL: https://api.artguru.ai/

Capabilities

Capability	Endpoint	Accepts mode
Photo Enhance — general-purpose HD enhancement	POST /api/v1/enhance/generate	Yes
Old Photo Restore — repair damaged or faded photos	POST /api/v1/restore/generate	No
Colorize — add color to an image	POST /api/v1/colorize/generate	No
Unblur — recover detail from blurry images	POST /api/v1/unblur/generate	Yes
Upscale Pro — upscale to 4K or 8K	POST /api/v1/upscale/generate	Yes
Remove Background — create a transparent-background image	POST /api/v1/background/remove/generate	No

The optional mode parameter (general, graphics, portrait, text) tells the API what kind of content you are processing — see Capability modes.

Subscription and pricing

API operations use your account’s credit balance. Rates depend on the endpoint, resolution, and mode. See Pricing for the latest rates.

How it works

Generation is asynchronous:

1. Upload the source image with POST /api/v1/image/upload, or use any publicly reachable HTTPS image URL.
2. Submit a task to one of the generation endpoints. The response returns immediately with a taskId, a businessType, and status: "PENDING".
3. Poll GET /api/v1/tasks/{businessType}/{taskId} until status is SUCCESS, FAIL, ERROR, or OTHER, then read data.generateUrl. Results are returned as image URLs.

Every response carries a requestId for support and log correlation — see Request IDs.

Where to go next

• Authentication — get an API key and send it on every call.
• Pricing — credit cost per endpoint and mode.
• Rate limits and task quotas — current limits, response headers, and safe retry behavior.
• Errors — status codes, business codes, and task states.
• Use with AI — let your coding assistant read these docs.
• API Endpoints in the sidebar — full request/response reference with runnable examples.
