Hail Rain Detection API

Hail Rain Detection API - HailQuid (also known as Hail Rain Recognition API or Hail Storm Detector API) is a cross browsers REST API which get a JSON input with a still photo (NOT a radar photo) (as base64 encoded string), containing Hail Rains and returns a JSON string which contains predictions of the input photo regarding the probability of Hail Rain. The recognized Hail Rains have confidence score, timestamp, tagId, tagName. Of course, there are some limitations in order to get a higher accuracy. We recommend properly exposed, unobstructed JPEG photos at 1920x1080 (full HD resolution) where the Hail Rain is clear and focused. If the Hail Rain details are too small or blured, the accuracy is lower and the AI algorithm may not classify in a proper way. We do not store pictures. Also, the quality and the angles of the camera are very important and it contribute to a higher reading accuracy. It should has varifocal lenses, high shutter speed, good infrared lighting beam, full HD resolution.

Allthough this Automatic Hail Rain Detection API (currently we do not offer a Hail Rain Detection sdk) is intended for software development and therefore developers, we have also here an Hail Rain Detection online application that may be used to check the input and output JSONs of the API. The necessary steps are written below, basically for this real time Hail Rain Detection API you send an authorized POST request in JSON format to the API endpoint and you get as JSON response the output as described below through parameters and examples.

This Hail Rain Detection API is useful for a large number of domains like apps for: automotive, travel, transportation, weather nowcast etc. You own the commercial copyright of the resulted JSON with no additional fee meaning you may use it in your own apps for sale.

For using our Hail Rain Detection API and/or APP you must create an account (free of charge, no card required), activate it from your received email, login and then start your TRIAL package with no fees as you can see at our pricing packages. After you have tested the API and/or APP and you are satisfied, you may buy a paid package. You will always see at your Admin Console page the real resources consumption in real time, your invoices, you may see/edit/delete your profile or export log consents as GDPR instructed, you may read our FAQs.
