DOCUMENTATION

How a request works Your page asks Hyke Studio for a picture with make, model, colour and angle in the address. Hyke Studio sends the picture itself straight back to the page.

Don't see your vehicle yet? On a paid plan we draw it — ready within the hour — and you still get a stand-in straight away, never a blank result.

Cars (trucks, three-wheelers and ATVs among them), motorcycles, boats, heavy machines (farm and construction machines) and aircrafts (planes and helicopters), all at the same price. Each vehicle we hold has a page of its own, showing the exact request that returns it: Every vehicle we hold.

Numbers, not promises.

Requests served, error rate and response speed are on the home page, refreshed hourly. A bad hour stays on the page — same as a good one. See the live numbers →

FULL AND BASIC REQUESTS

Past your full requests, the pictures keep coming. The plan decides how much you get to choose.

Every plan has a monthly number of full requests — Free 150, Starter 26,000, Pro 70,000 — then basic requests: 7,500 a month on Free, unlimited on Starter and Pro. Inside the number you get everything the plan includes. Past it, the pictures keep coming in basic settings until the month resets or you upgrade, and the response says which it was (the Hyke-Mode header). On Starter and Pro nothing is ever refused; on Free, past its 7,500 basic requests, a request is refused with a clear monthly-limit message until the month resets.

A basic request is a file handed over — three colours, one angle, one size, made once per vehicle and kept — which is why it costs nothing. On Starter and Pro it is never refused; on Free it stops after 7,500 a month.
