Batch API Reference

Batch image edit contract

Batch endpoint allows batch processing of images by specifying a cloud Storage directory as input. See Storage overview for more info.

In other aspects, the Batch endpoint behaves like the Async endpoint, returning a response without waiting for an actual result that should be queried with another request.

By default, it is expected that the images will be located in the root of the cloud directory that is specified in the input field. To retrieve all images from subdirectories recursively, the input field should have the recursive parameter as following:

{
  "input": {
    "source": "storage://storage_1/input_folder/",
    "recursive": true
  },
  ...
}

In the Batch endpoint you could also set input as list of publicly accessible URLs, so our service can fetch and process them:

{
  "input": ["https://image.site/image.png", "https://image.site/image.png"],
  ...
}

Request image processing

The request body for Batch endpoint is the same as for regular image edit operation, except Storage directories are allowed for input and output parameters. See Image edit contract for more info.

Process Batch Image Edit

Specifies:

• what images will be processed (input)
