Operations 2

Each operation below carries the questions people ask an LLM about it and the instructions they give an agent to run it. Generated by API Evangelist overlay

POST /v1/trace-image Convert a raster image into an SVG vector · Submit a job #

Ask an LLM

“Can I turn a JPEG or PNG into a scalable SVG?”

“Is there a preset I can pick when vectorizing an image?”

Tell an agent

Trace the image at {input} into an SVG.

Vectorize {input} using the settings {settings}.

GET /v1/status/{jobId}/image-trace Check an image trace job's status · Retrieve job status #

Ask an LLM

“Has my image-to-vector job finished?”

“Where do I get the SVG output once an image trace succeeds?”

Tell an agent

Check the status of image trace job {jobId}.

Get the SVG results for trace job {jobId}.
