Imagga API
Sofia, Bulgaria
What it is
Imagga API provides REST image-recognition services for analyzing, organizing, searching and moderating visual content. Authentication uses an API key and secret, and deployment can be cloud-based or on-premise. Capabilities include tagging, categorization, object detection, facial recognition, OCR, visual search, color extraction, cropping, background removal and content moderation. Tags can be trained with customer-specific labels, while visual search finds similar images by semantics, color, category or functional similarity. Documentation includes cURL, Python, PHP, Java, Ruby, Node.js, Objective-C, Go and C# examples. The free plan allows 100 API requests and is intended for testing, with a request to mention Powered by Imagga and link to its site. Indie costs $79 a month for 70,000 requests; Pro costs $349 a month for 300,000. Enterprise pricing is custom.
