Image Recognition in the Cloud

---

Our API's enable access to our image recognition platform through the cloud. As shown in chart below, our API consists of two main services:

Query API

This API allows you to make requests to our existing database of objects (e.g. CDs, DVDs, books, or your own database of reference images uploaded with the Data API).

Data API

This API allows you to upload your own data for recognition. It is usually used together with the Query API to make recognition requests for the uploaded database. Currently, the Data API is in Alpha stage. Feel free to get in touch for an account.

API concept and usage

Our API is accessed via HTTP and follows the REST methodology. The basic procedure is simple: you send us a query image via HTTP POST, we return an XML response with information about the recognized objects.

Usage Limits

API access is for free for up to 100 requests per day to our media cover database (CDs, DVDs, Books). For more requests or for accessing additional data please contact our sales staff. If you want to upload your own database of items for recognition, you can do this using our Data API
