Background Remover help

[Jemboy]

I have about 200 photo's that need the background removed.
After some Googleing I found this website: https://www.photoroom.com/background-remover/

This works really well, but it has one caveat. It only does one photo at the time.
Lickily they have an API (https://www.notion.so/API-Documentation-public-4eb3e45d9c814f92b6392b7fd0f1d51f) you can use to remove 1000/month backgrounds for free,

To use the API, you have to create an API key first: https://dashboard.photoroom.com/accounts/signup/
Specialy for this post I created an API key: 9a32a48575c3e952b890f4f678197981a978c75d

Using the API and API key, I wanted to create an AutoIt script, so I could do point to a folder and batch remove the background of my photos.

Seeing CURL is commandline, I thought it would be easy to use it with autoit. So I tested the line below, however I get: curl: (26) Failed to open/read local data from file/application

curl -H 'x-api-key:9a32a48575c3e952b890f4f678197981a978c75d' -F 'image_file=@d:/image.jpg' -f https://sdk.photoroom.com/v1/segment -o no-bg.png

I suspect that the culprit is the -F 'image_file=@d:/image.jpg' part.
Does any one know how to adjust this CURL line, so I can start buiding a script around it ? 😊

If you're executing that command line using PowerShell, then it will work just fine because it accepts strings wrapped in single quotes or double quotes.  If you are executing that command using CMD, then you will need to use double quotes instead of single quotes.

@THeXMan Your the bomb!
Using double quotes (see below) solved the problem. I will now embark on the voyage to create a wrapper around this.😀

curl -H "x-api-key:9a32a48575c3e952b890f4f678197981a978c75d" -F "image_file=@d:/image.jpg" -f "https://sdk.photoroom.com/v1/segment -o no-bg.png"
