Integration Guide

This guide walks you through:

  • Endpoint: /s2s/v2.0/task/hat
  • Authentication: All requests require an Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
  • Workflow:
    1. Prepare a selfie image: Uploading an image or providing a valid image URL of yourself as the virtual try-on target.
    2. Prepare a hat image: Upload a hat product image or a photo of a person wearing hat.
    3. Select a style and a gender: Select a preferred style and the gender you wish to visualize.
    4. Fire an AI task and Retrieve Task ID: Capture the task_id from the response.
    5. Poll Status (GET): Use the task_id to check the status of the task. Continue polling until task_status is "success" or "error".

  • 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/.


  • AI Hat API Usage Guide

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


  • Step 1. Prepare a Selfie Image

You can:

  • Upload a selfie image using the File API (/s2s/v2.0/file), or

  • Provide a valid image URL.

    • Step 1.1 Upload a File Using the File API

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

Image Requirements:

  • Upload a selfie photo.
  • Ensure the photo clearly shows the upper 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_photo_01_3dbd1b6683.jpg",
        "file_size": 547541
      }
    ]
  }'

  • Step 1.2. 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": "selfie_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 1.3. 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 @'./selfie_photo_01_3dbd1b6683.jpg'

  • Step 2. Prepare a Reference Hat Image

You can:

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

Supported Hat Images:

  • A hat product image.
  • A photo of a person wearing hat.

Refer to File Specs and Errors for detailed specifications.


  • Step 3. Create an AI Task

Select a preferred style and the gender you wish to visualize. Use the AI Task API (/s2s/v2.0/task/hat) to create a virtual try-on task.

Parameters:

  • For the user image: src_file_id or src_file_url.
  • For the hat image: ref_file_id, or ref_file_url.

Example Request:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://yce-api-01.makeupar.com/s2s/v2.0/task/hat \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "src_file_url": "https://example.com/selfie.jpg",
    "ref_file_url": "https://example.com/accessory.jpg",
    "gender": "female",
    "style": "random"
}'

Sample Response:

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

  • Step 4. Poll for Task Result

Use the task ID to check the status:

curl --request GET \
  --url https://yce-api-01.makeupar.com/s2s/v2.0/task/hat/SaGaqpDgKwFrVBgMpQMA3HY0LeqdT9_13W5TOD8_u_GPi6NqQ3dhlmN-6ntFwhzT \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json'

  • Step 5. 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"
}

    • Single Item Requirement: The model must wear exactly one item. Multiple items or accessories are not permitted.
    • Coverage Ratio: The worn item must occupy more than 20% of the total image height. This ensures the item is clearly visible and prominent within the frame.

Supported Selfie View

  • Recommended image resolution: at least 512 × 512 pixels.
  • Recommended face coverage: more than 15% of the image height.
  • Single Subject Requirement: The image must contain exactly one human subject. No additional people or partial figures are allowed.

Try-on Styles

  • There are five predefined styles for generating the virtual try-on output: "style_sporty_casual" "style_urban_fashion" "style_vacation_casual" "style_warm_cozy" and "style_bohemian". You can specify this style parameter when creating an AI task or allow the system to select a style at random by default.
