Leading AI detection platform enables developers to implement deepfake detection with just two lines of code.
Reality Defender, the RSA Innovation Award-winning deepfake detection platform, announced the launch of its public developer API and SDK, along with a free tier offering 50 detections per month. The API enables any developer to integrate enterprise-grade deepfake detection into their applications with just two lines of code, marking a significant step toward natively building trust infrastructure into critical applications.

The API leverages Reality Defender’s multi-model approach and introduces a context-aware detection model that looks beyond faces to identifyย deepfake images using proprietary, cutting-edge techniques. Currently supporting audio and image detection, the platform will expand to include other modalities including video in the coming months.
“By opening up access to our detection platform, we hope to help build a broader ecosystem of trust and safety, combatting deepfakeย fraudย at scale,” saidย Alex Lisle, CTO of Reality Defender. “Whether forย fraudย detection, identity verification, content moderation, or other purposes, developers can now build our enterprise-grade detection into their platforms.”
The free tier is designed for developers and production-ready applications across multiple sectors, including:
- OSINT and media analysis tools
- Trust and safety platforms combating AI-poweredย fraud
- Financial services preventing sophisticated social engineering attacks
- Brand protection systems identifying synthetic content before it goes viral
- Legal andย e-discovery platforms ensuring evidence integrity
Reality Defender’s approach enables a distributed defense network against deepfake frauds, which are projected to cost businesses billions by 2027,ย according to Deloitte. The urgency for these defenses is underscored byย recent successful deepfake impersonations of senior government officialsย andย FBI warnings about AI-generated mediaย being used in sophisticatedย fraudย campaigns targeting these officials. By launching this API for developers to easily implement its platform, Reality Defender aims to make detecting deepfakes as routine as filtering spam.
“We live in an AI-first world, andย fraudย has never been so prevalent or sophisticated,” saidย Ben Colman, Co-Founder and CEO of Reality Defender. “Just as antivirus and spam detection became essential decades ago, today’s threats demand deepfake detection to become a foundational layer of trust. Now, developers can build it in from their first line of code.”
The API launch follows the release of Reality Defender’s Zoom integration and a fundraising round led by Illuminate Financial, with additional participation from Booz Allen Ventures, IBM Ventures, the Jefferies Family Office, and Accenture, as well as additional participation from original Series A lead investor DCVC and past investors The Partnership Fund forย New York Cityย and Y Combinator.
