๐ฉบ Skin Disease Classifier โ API Documentation (v2.0 โ Dynamic AI Recommendations)
ResNet50 (HAM10000) for classification + Groq (fast LLM inference) for personalized, dynamic risks & recommendations ยท Deployed on Hugging Face Spaces
๐ What's new in v2.0
This version replaces the old static recommendations with a two-step, dynamic flow:
POST /predictโ classifies the image and returns a set of follow-up questions specific to the predicted class (e.g. Melanoma gets different questions than a Mole).POST /recommendโ takes the predicted class + the user's answers to those questions, sends them to Groq, and returns personalized risks & recommendations in both English and Arabic, plus anurgency_level.
This means recommendations are no longer hardcoded โ they adapt to each patient's actual situation (how long the lesion has been there, whether it's bleeding, family history, etc).

A working demo web page (index.html) that calls this exact API end-to-end โ upload โ predict โ answer questions โ recommend โ is included alongside this documentation. Open it in any browser to see the full flow live.
๐ Required Server Configuration
The server needs a Groq API key set as an environment variable named GROK_API_KEY.
โ ๏ธ Despite the variable name
GROK_API_KEY(kept for backward compatibility), this must be a key from Groq (console.groq.com) โ not xAI's Grok (console.x.ai). These are two different companies and the keys are not interchangeable.
On Hugging Face Spaces:
- Go to your Space โ Settings โ Variables and secrets
- Click New secret
- Name:
GROK_API_KEY - Value: (your key from console.groq.com/keys)
- Save โ the Space will restart automatically
โ ๏ธ Never hardcode the API key in
main.pyor commit it to a public repo. Always use Space secrets / environment variables.
