Building a LEGO reselling tool? Our AI LEGO recognition API handles the heavy lifting. Skip months of training models and debugging computer vision algorithms. Get accurate minifigure identification in milliseconds, built specifically for bulk scanning workflows that serious resellers need. We process thousands of scans daily for inventory management apps, pricing tools, and marketplace integrations.

How our API works

Send us an image, get back detailed minifigure data. Our API returns BrickLink IDs, set numbers, part details, and current market values. Built on training data from millions of LEGO images, optimized for speed and accuracy in real-world conditions.

Authentication and setup

Simple API key authentication. No OAuth complexity or token refresh headaches. Include your key in the header and start scanning. We provide SDKs for Python, JavaScript, and PHP to get you running fast.

Request format

POST your images as base64 or multipart form data. We accept JPG, PNG, and HEIC formats up to 10MB. Batch requests supported for up to 50 images per call. Response includes confidence scores, part breakdown, and pricing data from multiple marketplaces.

Rate limits and pricing

Developer tier starts at 1,000 requests per month. Production tiers scale based on volume with bulk discounts. No surprise charges or throttling during peak times. Enterprise customers get dedicated infrastructure and SLA guarantees.

Integration examples

Inventory apps use our API to auto-categorize bulk lots. Pricing tools pull real-time valuations. Marketplace sellers integrate direct upload workflows. Mobile apps scan collections on-device then batch upload for processing.

FAQ

What's the accuracy rate for minifigure recognition?

94% accuracy on standard minifigures in good lighting. Complex or custom figures may require manual review. We provide confidence scores so you can set your own thresholds for auto-processing versus human review.

Can I use this API for commercial reselling tools?

Yes. Our commercial license covers reselling applications, inventory tools, and marketplace integrations. Enterprise customers get white-label options and custom training on specific LEGO categories.

How fast is the API response time?

Average response time under 500ms for single images. Batch requests process at roughly 100 images per second. We use global CDN endpoints to minimize latency regardless of your location.

Do you provide historical pricing data through the API?

Yes. Each recognition result includes 30-day price history from major marketplaces. Enterprise tiers get extended historical data and custom market analysis endpoints for trend tracking.
