Pretrained computer vision classifier

Identify flower species with one API call.

A pretrained flower species classifier that sorts an image into one of 10 categories — what flower species it is. Use the flower species API immediately, no training required, then adapt it to your own data when you need more.

Call the flower species API

Once you've added this classifier to your console, you get your own copy of it behind your own endpoint. Invoke it with any HTTP client:

curl

curl -X POST "https://www.nyckel.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_ID/invoke" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NYCKEL_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"data": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"}'

Python

import requests

# Get an access token: https://www.nyckel.com/docs/api/overview/authentication/
token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"

response = requests.post(
    "https://www.nyckel.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_ID/invoke",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + token},
    json={"data": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"},
)
print(response.json())

Example response

{
  "labelName": "Aster",
  "labelId": "label_...",
  "confidence": 0.92
}

Under the hood

Model type
Nyckel-trained

Trained on a Nyckel-curated dataset covering 10 flower species categories, served on Nyckel's own infrastructure — your image stays on Nyckel.

Input
Image

Send an image URL or file to the invoke endpoint; the response is a label with a confidence score.

Make it yours
Adaptable

Clone it, then correct predictions and add your own samples in the console — Nyckel retrains automatically, turning this into a custom model tuned to your data.

More than a demo: this page is one of thousands of pretrained functions on Nyckel, an ML classification platform. You can invoke classifiers by API, review predictions, correct labels, collect samples from production traffic, and promote any pretrained function to a private custom model — without changing your integration.

Where teams use flower species classification

Horticultural Research

Researchers can utilize the flower species identifier to gather data on specific species and evaluate its accuracy. By analyzing misclassifications, they can identify areas for improving machine learning algorithms while enhancing their understanding of plant biology.

Botanical Education

Educational institutions can use this tool in teaching students about plant taxonomy. By examining instances of incorrect identification, students can learn to distinguish between similar species and understand the challenges of plant classification.

Gardening Assistance

Gardening apps can integrate the flower species identifier to help users identify plants in their gardens. Users would benefit from understanding misclassifications, helping them make smarter decisions about plant care and growth conditions.

Environmental Monitoring

Conservationists can leverage the flower species identifier to monitor local flora and assess biodiversity. Investigating false classifications can provide insights into species distribution and reveal potential misinterpretations of habitat data.

E-commerce for Floral Products

Online florists can use this function to ensure accurate representation of flower species in their inventory. Analyzing errors in identification can lead to better product descriptions and increased customer satisfaction.

Agricultural Development

Farmers and agricultural specialists can apply this identifier to manage crop health and biodiversity on their lands. Understanding misclassifications aids in correct pest management strategies and resource allocation.

Augmented Reality Applications

Mobile AR applications focused on nature can incorporate the flower species identifier to provide users with real-time information about flowers in their surroundings. By assessing incorrect predictions, developers can fine-tune the user experience to enhance learning and engagement.

Common questions

What's the difference between a zero-shot and a Nyckel-trained classifier?

A zero-shot classifier uses a large foundation model's general knowledge to pick between your labels — no task-specific training, so new or edited labels work immediately. A Nyckel-trained classifier has been trained on labeled examples and runs on Nyckel's own infrastructure, which typically makes it faster, cheaper per call, and more accurate on data that resembles its training set. The "Under the hood" section on this page shows which kind this classifier is, and any classifier can be adapted into a trained one by adding your own examples.

How do I know whether this will work for my application?

Honestly: we can't know in advance — it depends on your data stream and how closely it resembles what this classifier has seen. The reliable way to find out is to measure it on your own data: start invoking the classifier with real traffic, or upload and annotate a set of images in the console — make sure they look like your production data, not idealized examples. Nyckel's evaluation metrics then show you exactly how it performs on that data before you rely on it.

What happens when it makes a mistake?

No classifier is perfect, so Nyckel is built around the correction loop: invokes can be captured for review, you confirm or correct predictions in the console, and corrections become training data. Over time the model adapts to your data distribution — accuracy on your traffic improves with use rather than staying fixed.

Do I need training data to get started?

No. This flower species classifier works out of the box — clone it into your console and you'll have your own API endpoint in under a minute. Training data only enters the picture when you want to adapt it: your corrected predictions and uploaded samples improve the model, and you can also edit the label set to match your needs.

What does it cost to try?

Trying the classifier on this page is free with no signup. Cloning it requires a free account, and the free tier covers your first API calls each month — see nyckel.com/pricing for current limits and paid tiers.
