## Error Handling

| Code | Meaning                       | Reason                                          |
|------|-------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| 400  | **Bad Request**              | Missing or invalid parameters in the request.   |
| 401  | **Unauthorized**             | Invalid or missing API key.                     |
| 404  | **Not Found**                | The requested image URL is inaccessible.        |
| 500  | **Internal Server Error**    | Server encountered an error while processing.   |

---

## Best Practices
- **Check Image Accessibility**: Ensure the image URL is publicly accessible (no private domains or credential requirements).  
- **Save Results**: Store the `output` (age estimate) and `metrics` data locally for analytics or logging.  
- **Secure Your API Key**: Keep it confidential and rotate keys periodically if needed.  
- **Multiple Faces**: The API is designed for a single dominant face. Images with multiple faces may lead to inconsistent or undefined results.

---

## Data Privacy & Retention
- The API may briefly store the image or derived features for processing.  
- All content is automatically removed after a short retention window to maintain **data privacy**.
