Pretrained computer vision classifier

Identify nut types with one API call.

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

Call the nut types 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": "Almonds",
  "labelId": "label_...",
  "confidence": 0.92
}

Under the hood

Model type
Nyckel-trained

Trained on a Nyckel-curated dataset covering 10 nut types 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 nut types classification

Quality Control in Food Production

This function can be employed in food manufacturing to ensure that the correct nut types are used in products. By automatically identifying and validating nut types during processing, companies can prevent costly production errors and ensure product consistency.

Supply Chain Management

Businesses can utilize this image classification function to verify the authenticity of nut shipments received from suppliers. By scanning and classifying nuts, companies can maintain quality standards and reduce the risk of fraud or misrepresentation of products.

Dietary Tracking Applications

Health and nutrition apps can incorporate this function to help users identify nuts and track their dietary intake. By allowing users to scan and classify nuts, the application can provide personalized dietary suggestions and monitor allergen consumption.

Retail Inventory Management

Grocery stores can apply this function in their inventory management systems to automatically classify nuts for stock management. This can enhance shelf organization, streamline reorder processes, and minimize human error in product identification.

Eco-Friendly Sourcing Initiatives

Companies committed to sustainable sourcing can use this function to monitor their nut sourcing practices. By identifying and classifying nut types, businesses can ensure they are sourcing responsibly and in alignment with their environmental values.

Research and Development in Food Science

Food researchers can utilize this classification function for studies involving the nutritional properties of different nut types. By accurately categorizing samples, researchers can derive meaningful insights into health benefits and applications.

Online Recipe Platforms

Cooking and recipe websites can integrate this function to allow users to upload images of nuts and receive feedback on their types. This feature can enhance user engagement, making it easier for home cooks to identify ingredients and follow recipes accurately.

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 nut types 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.
