# API Usage Guide

This project supports multiple methods to start and interact with the API.

## Method 1: Standard API Start

Start the API using the main script:

```
python main.py
```

## Method 2: Gradio UI

To use the Gradio UI:

1. In the `endpoints/` directory, change the comment to enable 'gradio'.
2. Run the UI script:

```
python ui.py
```

## Method 3: Celery Optimization

Use Celery for optimized background task processing. You can adjust the parameters for concurrency as needed.

### Step 1: Start Redis Server

```
redis-server
```

### Step 2: Start Celery Workers

Open two separate terminals and run the following:

**Terminal 1 (Preprocessing Queue):**
```
celery -A tasks worker --pool=threads --loglevel=info --concurrency=2 --queues=preprocess_queue
```

**Terminal 2 (Inference Queue):**
```
celery -A tasks worker --pool=threads --loglevel=info --concurrency=3 --queues=inference_queue
```

### Step 3: Run Debug Script

```
python celery_debug.py
```
