Replace overcast or dull skies with the sky the listing deserves. Choose clear, low-cloud, neutral, or high-cloud skies.

Ordering

Submit an order with POST /v1/orders — or one call of SDK. The snippets below cover upload, order, live progress and download using SDK 1.1.0 or Bash with curl and jq. See the SDK installation notes.

POST/v1/orders
import { BkbnClient } from '@bkbnlab/api'

const bkbn = new BkbnClient()            // reads BKBNLAB_API_KEY

const photo = await bkbn.upload('living-room.jpg')

const order = await bkbn.order({
  inputs: [photo],
  sky: 'high_cloud',
})

const result = await order.wait({
  onProgress: (p) => console.log(p.stage, p.percent),
})
await result.save('result.jpg')

Options

These are REST request fields, alongside inputs. Defaults apply when neither an explicit value nor a selected preset supplies that setting. Shared delivery options are documented under Enhancer.

OptionTypeDescription
skybooleanTurn sky replacement on. Default: false.
sky_styleenumThe sky style to use when sky replacement is enabled. Options: clear, low_cloud, neutral, high_cloud. Default: high_cloud.

Inputs and outputs

inputs takes 1-5 ready, uploaded asset ids owned by your key — the exposure brackets of one scene. Magic Eraser takes exactly one image plus a mask. The completed order carries one outputAssetId. Authenticated GET /v1/assets/:id returns data.url and data.expiresIn; fetch the signed URL without your API key to download the bytes. Output ids cannot currently be reused as order inputs.

Versioning

This page documents recipe sky@4.0.0. The live catalog — every feature, its version and parameters — is public at GET /v1/features. Minor bumps improve quality without changing the interface.
