Request Parameters

RequiredParameterTypeDescription
YesparamsstringAlgorithm parameters as a JSON string
Yesinit_imagesobject[]List of image files
YestaskstringFixed value: /v1/Text_watermark_Eraser/472427
Yestask_typestringFixed value: formula
Nosync_timeoutintDefault: 30; -1 means do not wait. If synchronous waiting times out, status 9 is returned and the result must be retrieved through the query API

init_images image parameters

RequiredParameterTypeDescription
YesurlstringImage address
YesprofileobjectAttribute information

profile attribute information

RequiredParameterTypeDescription
Yesmedia_profilesobjectImage-related attribute information

The source document does not define profile.version; therefore, this field is not added here.

media_profiles image attribute information

RequiredParameterTypeDescription
Yesmedia_data_typestringDefault: url; url indicates an image URL, while jpg indicates base64-encoded JPG image data. The source document names the data field associated with jpg as media_data

The params inference parameters are provided as a JSON string with the following structure

RequiredFieldTypeDescription
Norsp_media_typestringDefault: url; jpg returns the result image as base64, while url returns the result image as a URL
YesparameterobjectCore algorithm parameter object

parameter algorithm parameter details

RequiredParameterTypeDescription
NotargetstringDefault: text; text: remove text; watermark: remove watermarks; text_watermark: remove both watermarks and text

The original failed request example specifies 20008 UNSUITABLE_IMAGE; the API-specific error 20001 PROCESS_ERROR in the table below is a different error and must not be conflated with it.
