API. URL-based integration
To make integration easier we came up with URL-based integration. Which means all you need to do is to setup image URL for tags <img> and <picture> to start using Pixboost.
https://pixboost.com/api/2/img/[IMAGE_URL]/[OPERATION]?[OPERATION_PARAMS]&auth=[API_KEY]
Item | Description |
[IMAGE_URL] | The URL of the original image you would like to process through Pixboost. |
[OPERATION] | Pixboost function call |
[OPERATION_PARAMS] | Pixboost parameters for a function call you are using |
[API_KEY] | A unique key created by Pixboost for security purposes |
