Question 1

How do I get an API key?

Accepted Answer

Create a free account, confirm your email, and copy your key from the dashboard. Free-tier keys work immediately — no credit card, no wait list.

Question 2

Which languages and runtimes do you support?

Accepted Answer

First-party SDKs for Python (`pip install latentface`) and TypeScript (`npm install @latentface/sdk`). Any language can call the REST API directly — every endpoint has a curl example in the docs.

Question 3

How is Latentface different from Hugging Face or Replicate?

Accepted Answer

We focus exclusively on face models — embedding, swap, match, blend, enhance — with a matched Python/TypeScript surface and honest p95 latency numbers. No SLA theater and no demo-request gates. Our models are also published on HF Spaces so you can benchmark against your own data before integrating.

Question 4

What are the rate limits?

Accepted Answer

Free: 100 calls/day, 10 rpm. Starter: 10,000 calls/month, 60 rpm. Scale: 100,000 calls/month, 300 rpm with priority queue. Enterprise plans remove the per-minute cap — contact us through the self-serve annual-contract flow.

Question 5

How do you handle privacy for uploaded images?

Accepted Answer

Images are processed and discarded within 60 seconds unless you explicitly enable recording to your own S3 bucket. We never train on your inputs. The privacy policy is binding and we publish every sub-processor.

Question 6

Do you have a free tier that works without a credit card?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 100 calls per day forever, all six endpoints, watermarked output. Build a prototype, demo it, ship it — only upgrade when you're ready to remove the watermark.
