About

This API lets you apply various filters to images plus other adjustments such as image rotation, brightness adjustments, flipping(horizontal/vertical) and Gaussian blur effect . The API accepts input images in multiple formats, including WebP, JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, and TIFF.
The API is ideal for applications that allow photo editing, and applications that allow users to enhance their images by providing an intuitive interface for applying artistic effects, adjusting color balances, and fine-tuning image attributes such as brightness, contrast, and saturation.
Try out the API in the API playground and see how this free image filters API can help you save time and improve image processing with a simple API call.

Sample Response
A successful request returns the generated file in the output parameter specified. If the request fails, the response contains an error code and a message to help determine what went wrong.

HTTP Response Codes

The method may return one of the following HTTP status codes:
Status CodeDescription
200The request was successful.
401Required authentication information is either missing or not valid for the resource.
400Invalid input - the image file is corrupt or the filter attribute is not provided.
500If any unexpected error occurs while processing the request.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
