Adding AI Image Detection to Your App in 5 Minutes

The TruthLens REST API returns the same JSON the playground shows. Authentication is a Bearer token; the body is a base64-encoded image. Pro and Enterprise plans include API access.

1. Create an API key

Sign in, open Dashboard → API keys, and click "Create new key". Copy the key immediately — it is shown only once.

2. Make a request

curl -X POST https://truthlenai.lovable.app/api/detect \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRUTHLENS_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "image_base64": "<base64-png>" }'

3. Handle the response

{
  "verdict": "ai_generated",
  "confidence": 92,
  "risk_level": "high",
  "suspected_model": "Midjourney v6",
  "artifacts": ["melted text in background", "asymmetric earrings"],
  "reasoning": ["Frequency spectrum shows strong diffusion peaks at 8 cycles/px ..."]
}

4. Recommended UX patterns

• **Moderation queues**: auto-flag any verdict with confidence > 80% and risk_level high.
• **Newsroom**: surface the artifacts list to editors so they can sanity-check the verdict.
• **Marketplaces**: block uploads when verdict is ai_generated and require user confirmation otherwise.
