MINIFY API scales images to half their size, perfect for developers and creators optimizing content for web and mobile. Scales a given image proportionally to half its size.

HTTP Methods

GET, POST

HTTP Parameters

Required

Fields Type Description
img URL Input image URL. If you want to upload your image directly from your app, then submit a multipart/form-data POST request.
key String Your PixLab API Key ↗. You can also embed your key in the WWW-Authenticate: HTTP header and omit this parameter if you want to.

Optional

Fields Type Description
blob Boolean By default, this API endpoint returns a JSON Object with the output image URL. Set to true to receive the image binary data instead.

POST Request Body

Use when submitting POST requests instead of GET:

Allowed Content-Types:

  • multipart/form-data
  • application/json

To facilitate direct image uploads, utilize multipart/form-data. Please consult the REST API code samples for a functional implementation. For JSON requests, the image must be pre-uploaded. Call store to upload images before invoking this endpoint.

HTTP Response

The API returns application/json if the optional blob parameter is not set.

This endpoint returns a JSON Object unless the blob parameter is specified, in which case it returns the raw image binary. The JSON response contains these fields:

Fields Type Description
status Integer Status code 200 indicates success, any other code indicates failure.
link URL Link to the processed image stored on pixlab.xyz storage. Use your own S3 bucket by configuring keys in PixLab console.
id String Unique image identifier.
error String Error description when status ≠ 200.
