About

This API lets you generate a thumbnail image from a source image in any dimensions (height and width) by compressing and resizing the image. The API accepts input images in multiple formats including PNG, JPEG, JPG, BMP, TIFF, GIF or WebP.
The API can help optimize images for web or mobile applications for faster loading, improving performance, and enhancing the overall visual experience. Generating Thumbnails through an API can help you and your application conserve bandwidth, which can be important for applications that are accessed over limited or slow connections.
Try out the API in the API playground and see how this free online Image thumbnail generator API can help you generate and optimize image thumbnails, save time and reduce image editing errors through a simple API call.

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.
