API. URL-based integration

To make integration easier we provide a lightweight API that you can directly use from HTML code.

URL pattern for API call

All endpoints follow the same pattern

https://pixboost.com/api/2/img/[IMAGE_URL|IMAGES_SOURCE_ALIAS_WITH_PATH]/[OPERATION]?[OPERATION_PARAMS]&auth=[API_KEY]

[OPERATION]	Pixboost function call
[OPERATION_PARAMS]	Operation parameters for a function call you are using
[API_KEY]	A unique API key
