Image Upload

API

Simplify image uploads with automatic optimization and CDN delivery

Overview

The Image Upload API offers RESTful endpoints for uploading, optimizing, and managing images. Key endpoints include POST /upload (multipart/form-data for file uploads) and GET /image/{id} (retrieve optimized image details). Responses are JSON-formatted, including CDN-hosted URLs, compression stats, and format info. It auto-optimizes images via compression, resizing, and conversion to modern formats (WebP/AVIF). Ideal for e-commerce platforms (product images), social apps (user avatars), or CMS tools to reduce bandwidth usage and improve load times without quality loss.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://apilayer.com/marketplace/image_upload-api')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
