API Workflow This guide walks you through:

Workflow for AI Hairstyle Generator API:

Endpoint: /s2s/v2.1/task/hair-transfer

Authentication Required: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Workflow Steps:

Image Upload Preparation:
- The process begins with preparing a selfie.
List predefined templates or using your own reference photo Choose Reference Source You have two options for styling references:

Option	Use Case	Implementation Tip
Predefined Templates (`template_id`)	Quick start (e.g., "Curly Bob", "Side-Swept Bangs")	Call `/s2s/v2.1/task/template/hair-transfer` and pick `template_id`.
Custom Reference Image (`ref_file_url` / `ref_file_id`)	User uploads own style photo or uses provided image link	Upload via same file API; Use `ref_file_url` if your reference image is already hosted online.

Initiate AI Task and Obtain Task ID:
- Send the uploaded image along with the style configuration via an HTTP POST request to /s2s/v2.0/file.
- Await a unique task ID in the response, which identifies this interaction.
Poll Task Status (Continuous Check):
- Use the obtained task_id to periodically poll the task status using an HTTP GET request (e.g., GET /task/${task_id}).
- Continuously monitor for:
  - Task_status = "success" (process completed).
  - Task_status = "error" (resolve or retry if applicable).
- Update the workflow accordingly once the status transitions to success.

This structured workflow ensures efficient integration with user inputs, automated monitoring of tasks, and seamless retrieval of results.

Authentication

Include your API key in the request header using Bearer Token:
```
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```

You can find your API Key at https://yce.makeupar.com/api-console/en/api-keys/.

API Usage Guide

This guide explains how to upload images, prepare reference images, and create virtual try-on tasks using the AI Hairstyle Generator API.

Step 1. Upload a File Using the File API or provide a valid image URL

Use the File API (/s2s/v2.0/file) to upload a target user image.

Alternatively, skip step 1 to 3 if you already have a public image URL.

Image Requirements:

Upload a high-resolution selfie photo.
Ensure the photo clearly shows the entire body.
Avoid backgrounds with multiple people or distracting objects.

Example Request:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://yce-api-01.makeupar.com/s2s/v2.0/file \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "files": [
      {
        "content_type": "image/jpg",
        "file_name": "selfie_01_3dbd1b6683.jpg",
        "file_size": 547541
      }
    ]
  }'

Step 2. Retrieve File API Response

The response includes:

file_id for creating an AI task.
requests.url for uploading the actual image file.

Sample Response:

{
  "status": 200,
  "data": {
    "files": [
      {
        "content_type": "image/jpg",
        "file_name": "full_body_photo_01_3dbd1b6683.jpg",
        "file_id": "SaGaqpDgKwFrVBgMpQMA3HY0LeqdT9/13W5TOD8/u/FfjK3xgCQ+hRt9MJXBFaud",
        "requests": [
          {
            "method": "PUT",
            "url": "https://yce-us.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/demo/ttl30/...signature...",
            "headers": {
              "Content-Length": "547541",
              "Content-Type": "image/jpg"
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Step 3. Upload Image to Provided URL

Use the requests.url from the File API response to upload the image:

curl --location --request PUT 'https://yce-us.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/demo/ttl30/...signature...' \
  --header 'Content-Type: image/jpg' \
  --header 'Content-Length: 547541' \
  --data-binary @'./full_body_photo_01_3dbd1b6683.jpg'

Step 4. Prepare a Reference Image
- 4.1 Fetch Predefined Image Templates

Use the Template API (/s2s/v2.1/task/template/hair-transfer) to retrieve a list of predefined reference templates:

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://yce-api-01.makeupar.com/s2s/v2.1/task/template/hair-transfer?page_size=20&starting_token=73a3c9e69b89' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'

4.2 Upload a Reference Image

You can:

Upload an reference image using the File API (/s2s/v2.0/file), or
Provide a valid image URL.

Supported Images:

Another selfie photo as an reference image.

Refer to File Specs and Errors for detailed specifications.

Step 5. Create an AI Hairstyle Generator Task

Use the AI Task API (/s2s/v2.1/task/hair-transfer) to create a virtual try-on task.

Parameters:

For the user image: src_file_id or src_file_url.
For the reference image: ref_file_id, ref_file_url, or template_id.

Example Request:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://yce-api-01.makeupar.com/s2s/v2.1/task/hair-transfer \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "src_file_url": "https://plugins-media.makeupar.com/strapi/assets/selfie_03_cccd5d4803.jpeg",
    "ref_file_url": "https://plugins-media.makeupar.com/strapi/assets/style_reference_full_body_01_5a000d999f.png"
  }'

Sample Response:

{
  "status": 200,
  "data": {
    "task_id": "SaGaqpDgKwFrVBgMpQMA3HY0LeqdT9_13W5TOD8_u_GPi6NqQ3dhlmN-6ntFwhzT"
  }
}

Step 6. Poll for Task Result

Use the task ID to check the status:

curl --request GET \
  --url https://yce-api-01.makeupar.com/s2s/v2.1/task/hair-transfer/<YOUR_TASK_ID> \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json'

Step 7. Retrieve Result

A successful response includes a download URL for the result image:

{
  "status": 200,
  "data": {
    "error": null,
    "results": {
      "url": "https://yce-us.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/demo/ttl30/...signature..."
    },
    "task_status": "success"
  }
}

Invalid API Key error response:

{
  "status": 401,
  "error": "Unauthorized",
  "error_code": "InvalidAccessToken"
}

FAQ

Q: Can I try on a custom hairstyle?

A: Absolutely, you can try on a custom hairstyle using your own reference photo. The AI Hairstyle Generator supports two methods for specifying the desired hairstyle:

Upload your own reference image You may upload a high-resolution selfie or style photo (e.g., someone wearing the target hairstyle) via the File API (/s2s/v2.0/file). After uploading, use the returned file_id or public URL as the reference source when creating the AI task.
Provide a valid image URL If your reference image is already hosted online (e.g., on your own server or CDN), you can directly supply its HTTPS URL in the request body under the field ref_file_url.

When submitting the task via /s2s/v2.1/task/hair-transfer, include either:

src_file_id (your selfie) and ref_file_id (your custom reference image), or
src_file_url and ref_file_url.

Ensure both images meet the specified requirements:

Supported format: JPG/JPEG only
File size under 10 MB
Long side ≤ 1024 pixels
Face width ≥ 128 pixels
Head pose within allowed range (pitch: −10° to +10°, yaw: −45° to +45°, roll: −15° to +15°)
Single face visible, full frontal view with clear hair visibility

This flexibility allows you to apply virtually any hairstyle from a photo reference, not just predefined templates.
