## API Documentation

### Base URL

All API requests should be made to: `https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/image-upscaler-sharp-clean-recraft-ai-recraft-crisp-upscale`

### Authentication

Authentication is handled via API key. Include your API key in the request header:

```
x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_MARKET_KEY
```

### Asynchronous Processing

**IMPORTANT**: This API uses asynchronous processing for predictions. The typical flow is:

1. Submit a prediction request to the POST endpoint.
2. Receive a prediction ID in the response.
3. Poll the GET endpoint with the prediction ID to check status.
4. Continue polling until the prediction is complete.

Your code should implement:
- A polling interval of 1 second between status checks.
- A maximum timeout of 600 seconds (10 minutes).
- Status checking logic that continues while status is "starting" or "processing".
- Result handling when status becomes "succeeded".
- Error handling when status becomes "failed" or timeout is reached.

## Endpoints

### Create a Prediction

`POST /api/v1/magicapi/image-upscaler-sharp-clean-recraft-ai-recraft-crisp-upscale/predictions`

This endpoint creates a new prediction to upscale an image.
