Verify a single image's authenticity — use this when you only have the image and no RAW camera file. Checks its embedded Content Credentials (C2PA) for capture provenance and AI-generation flags, and runs advisory forensic screens (error-level analysis, double-JPEG artifacts, EXIF timestamp consistency, editing-software traces, screen recapture). Free: it does not consume your verification quota. Provide the image inline as image_base64, or — for large files — call create_verification_upload and pass the returned image_object_key. Returns a verification id; poll get_verification, which on completion includes a structured evidence_report (verdict, per-check findings, coverage). Works without an API key on the keyless anonymous tier (rate-limited; returns an anonymous_user_id to reuse). For the strongest forensic check, use verify_photo with a RAW + JPEG pair instead.
