    focus: Async, webhook, and streaming surface
    summary: >-
      Recraft's public REST API at https://external.api.recraft.ai/v1 is entirely
      synchronous. A review of the Getting Started guide, the published endpoints
      reference, the Swagger UI at https://external.api.recraft.ai/doc/, and the
      llms.txt index at https://www.recraft.ai/docs/llms.txt surfaced no documented
      webhooks, callbacks, async job submission, task/job status polling, or
      streaming (SSE) endpoints. Every documented operation — image generation,
      raster/vector variants, imageToImage, inpaint, outpaint, replaceBackground,
      generateBackground, vectorize, removeBackground, crispUpscale, creativeUpscale,
      eraseRegion, variateImage, explore, explore/similar, prompts/enhance, styles,
      and users/me — returns its result inline on the synchronous POST/GET response.
      No event subscription, no delivery URL configuration, and no webhook signing
      surface are exposed in the public documentation as of this review.
