API

Cloud-based image management API for optimization, manipulation, and hosting

Overview

Sirv API is a RESTful cloud solution for end-to-end image management. It uses JSON for API responses and provides endpoints for real-time manipulation (resize, crop, filters), optimization (compression, WebP/AVIF conversion), secure hosting, batch uploads, and CDN delivery. Use cases include e-commerce product image enhancement, dynamic marketing graphic generation, and website performance improvement via responsive, lazy-loaded images. Developers can automate workflows or integrate with CMS platforms for seamless media management.
