  Applies a blur effect to an image. Blurring an image can be useful for various purposes, such as anonymizing sensitive information, creating a soft-focus effect, loader skeletons, etc.

  <CodeGroup>
    ```typescript node-sdk theme={null}
    blur(imageID: string, body: ImageBlurParams | null | undefined = {}, options?: RequestOptions): APIPromise<ImageObject>;
    ```
  </CodeGroup>

        </ResponseField>

        <ResponseField name="sigma" type="number">
          The standard deviation of the Gaussian kernel used to apply the blur effect.
        </ResponseField>
      </Expandable>
    </ResponseField>
