Estimate a person's age from their face
/v1/age/estimateThe hosted age gate's estimator. OVER_THRESHOLD when the estimate reaches threshold + buffer_years (default 18 + 7 = 25, as the hosted gate); the estimate has no calibrated error bound, so decide with the buffer, not the raw age. CHF 0.30 per answered call. Needs the age:estimate scope.

How far estimates over several images differ; not an error bound.
- 400Invalid input.
- 401Missing, unknown or expired API key.
- 402The balance does not cover the check.
- 403The key lacks the product's scope, its IP allowlist refuses the caller, or (code production_not_allowed) the organization may not use production yet.
- 409The Idempotency-Key is in progress (Retry-After: 1) or was used with a different request.
- 413A file or the body is too large.
- 415A file is not of an accepted type (checked by its bytes, not its name), or the body is neither multipart nor JSON.
- 422An image could not be decoded. Not charged.
- 429More than 120 calls in a minute for this product.
- 503The check could not run on our side. Nothing was charged; retry later with the same Idempotency-Key.
