HOW IT WORKS
An API connection for submitted media
1/4
Step 1: Generate Your API Key
Create a RealAPI account on the Reality Defender Platform to generate your API key. You’ll need a key to authenticate all RealAPI requests.
Step 2: Add Detection to Your App
Install the RealAPI SDK for your preferred language (Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, or Java) or connect directly through HTTPS requests.
Step 3: Upload Media Securely
Send image, audio, or video files for detection using a simple method call or API request. The SDK handles authentication, file upload, and polling automatically.
Step 4: Retrieve and Review Results
Structured responses include the assessment status, scores + available model detail. Your application handles pending, unsupported or unevaluable files alongside completed results.
Skip the model stack and ship faster
Audio, video + image coverage
One detection-only, multimodal API for audio, video, and images.
Integrate your way
Use REST or SDKs in Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, and Java.
Keep the decision
Combine the result with the identity, risk, and moderation data you already hold.
