  • What can I do with the ImageIRC API?

The API enables you to create applications that will query ImageIRC index and retrieve licensing information and image metadata for over 30 million images currently in the index.

  • Can I use the API if I am not a developer?

You will be able to test the API even without technical background. However, the API is designed to serve application providers and developers, and embedding it in an application will require some technical background.

  • How does the API work?

The ImageIRC API is REST based. Querying the API for an image is done using either an image file or an image link. The service is asynchronous and can handle multiple requests concurrently.

  • What kind of applications can work with the API?

Every application with a web access. The API can serve web applications, as well as desktop and mobile ones. Using the API can be done with the programming language of your choice.

  • Can I get PicScout’s look & feel to use with the API?

It is possible to get PicScout’s look and feel through JavaScript code examples that we release to our developers.

  • Can I upload images to ImageIRC using the API?

Currently the service supports “read only” actions. In the future we will introduce also actions for uploading and editing images and their metadata.

  • I would like to start working with the API. What should I do next?
