Face Blur API for Production Pipelines
Ship programmatic face blur and redaction with Face Blur API. Authenticate once, submit image or video jobs, and receive privacy-safe outputs at scale.
Face Blur API for Engineering Teams
Integrate Face Blur API into your app, DAM, MAM, or review queue.
Why teams use Face Blur API
Face Blur API moves blur out of the browser and into your backend. Authenticate, POST media jobs, and pull redacted assets into the same pipelines you use for transcoding, storage, and delivery.
Teams adopt Face Blur API when manual masking becomes the bottleneck in publishing, evidence review, or UGC moderation.
Send image or video jobs via REST with API keys
Embed blur into DAM, MAM, and custom review tools
Scale batch jobs without browser upload limits
Preview detection results before committing export
Receive webhook callbacks when jobs complete
Combine with other BGBlur endpoints in the same pipeline
Where engineering teams deploy it
Archive cleanup
Retroactively redact faces in legacy media libraries. keeps this workflow practical for repeated review, privacy cleanup, publishing, and team handoff without forcing editors to rebuild every mask or adjustment manually.
Client delivery
Send privacy-reviewed exports from your pipeline. keeps this workflow practical for repeated review, privacy cleanup, publishing, and team handoff without forcing editors to rebuild every mask or adjustment manually.
Team handoff
Standardize redaction across editors and QA. keeps this workflow practical for repeated review, privacy cleanup, publishing, and team handoff without forcing editors to rebuild every mask or adjustment manually.
Compliance workflows
Log job IDs and outputs for audit trails. keeps this workflow practical for repeated review, privacy cleanup, publishing, and team handoff without forcing editors to rebuild every mask or adjustment manually.
Built for backend throughput
Queue jobs from your server and process media in parallel instead of waiting on manual timeline edits or one-off browser uploads.
Explore Face Blur API
Read the API docs and run your first redaction job from curl or your backend.
Integrate Face Blur API in three steps
From API key to first redacted asset.
Get API credentials
Create a BGBlur API key, note rate limits, and choose face, plate, or general redaction mode for Face Blur API jobs.
Submit a job
Send a POST request with your API key and media URL. Poll the status endpoint or wait for the webhook payload with the redacted asset link.
Retrieve output
Download the redacted file from the response or your storage bucket hook. Log job IDs for compliance audits.
