Response schema

For responses with 200 HTTP code the type of response is JSON object with the following schema:

{
  "results": [
    {
      "status": {
        "code": ...,
        "message": ...
      },
      "name": ...,
      "md5": ...,
      "page": ...,
      "width": ...,
      "height": ...,
      "entities": [
        {
          "kind": "strings",
          "name": "brands",
          "strings": [
            ...
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Primary fields:

Name	Type	Description
results[].status.code	string	Status code of image processing: ok or failure.
results[].status.message	string	Human readable explanation for status of image processing.
results[].name	string	Original image name passed in request (e.g. my_image.jpg).
results[].md5	string	MD5 sum of original image passed in request.
results[].page	int	Optinal page number (presented for multipage inputs only).
results[].width	int	Optinal image width (presented for valid inputs only).
results[].height	int	Optinal image height (presented for valid inputs only).
results[].entities[].strings	array	Array of found brands.

Some details:

The most important part of the output is results[].entities[].strings – it contains the list of brands encoded as strings.

Other fields that are not described above always have the same values.

Passing image

Image can be passed by posting regular “multipart form data” in two alternative ways:

• as binary file in image field
• as URL to some public resource in url field

Image must be a regular JPEG or PNG image (with or without transparency) or PDF file.
Usually such images have extensions: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .pdf. In case of PDF
each page will be converted to PNG image and processed separately.
The service checks input file by MIME type and accepts the following types:

• image/jpeg
• image/png
• application/pdf

The size of image file must be less than 16Mb.

Examples

Request:

curl -X 'POST' 'https://brand-recognition.p.rapidapi.com/v2/results' -F 'image=@image.jpg'

❗️ Possible errors

👉 The service can not process an image

When client sends an image that can not be processed for some reason(s), the service responds with 200 code and returns JSON object in the same format as the format for successful analysis. In this case, the results[].status.code will have failure value and results[].status.message will contain relevant explanation.

Example of possible reasons for the issue:

• Unsupported file MIME type
• Corrupted image
• File passed as URL is too big or non downloadable

Example response for corrupted image:

{
  "results": [
    {
      "status": {
        "code": "failure",
        "message": "Can not load image."
      },
      "name": "file.jpg",
      "md5": "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e",
      "entities": []
    }
  ]
}

👉 Request size is too big

Request size is limited by approximately 32Mb.
When client sends request that exceeds this limit, the service responds with 413 code.

The typical reason for exceeding this limit is overly large image.
Taking into account additional HTTP overhead, we strongly recommend to not pass image files of size more than 16Mb.

Example response for too big request:

Error: Request Entity Too Large

Your client issued a request that was too large.

👉 Missing image or url

When client sends a request without an image and url, the service responds with 422 code and returns JSON object.

Example response for request without image or url:

{"detail": "Missing image or url field."}
