Getting started with our API for deepfake detection
Note: The Reality Defender team now recommends leveraging the Reality Defender SDKs for building most integrations. Consider checking if your preferred language is included in Reality Defender’s suite of SDKs.
The Reality Defender API uses a secure and straightforward authentication mechanism via the X-API-KEY header.
Every API request must include your unique API key in this header to authenticate and authorize your access to the platform’s features and resources.You will need access to the Reality Defender web platform to generate an API key.
Navigate to our API key settings to create a key.
API keys are linked to a user. Organization administrators can view uploads from all users, but only uploads for a given user show up by default in the Dashboard.
The Reality Defender API returns a lot of detailed information about our deepfake detection results. However, it’s recommended to focus specifically on the ensemble results. View our Media Detail documentation for more detail.
