  CodeProject is a long-running online community for software developers founded in 1999, hosting hundreds of thousands
  of developer-contributed articles, tutorials, code samples, tips, and a Q&A forum across a broad range of programming
  topics. It exposes a public REST API at api.codeproject.com (V1 Beta) for read access to articles, forum messages,
  questions, and authenticated user data, secured by OAuth 2.0 Bearer Tokens. CodeProject also operates CodeProject.AI
  Server, a free, open-source, self-hosted AI service that exposes object detection, face recognition, license-plate
  reading (ALPR), scene classification, image processing, audio classification, text analytics, and YOLOv5 training
  through a local HTTP REST API. CodeProject.AI is widely integrated with home-automation and surveillance platforms
  (Blue Iris, Home Assistant, Agent DVR).

      Self-hosted AI service that exposes computer vision (object detection, scene, face, ALPR), image processing
      (background removal, cartoonise, portrait filter, super-resolution), audio classification, NLP (sentiment,
      summarization), and YOLOv5 training endpoints through a local HTTP REST API. All endpoints are POST and accept
      multipart uploads. The server runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Raspberry Pi, Jetson, and OrangePi, plus Docker
      images, and integrates with Blue Iris, Home Assistant, and Agent DVR for surveillance use cases.
