Want to find related images with reverse image search API? Try the one introduced in this article.
Reverse image search is a technique that can be used to find other images on the Internet that are similar or identical to an image of interest. This is useful for various reasons, but the main two ones in a business context, and both of them have to do with image authentication:
Firstly, from a pure marketing perspective, you may notice that as your brand grows, your logos or products will get some recognition. Reverse image searching can help you out in finding in what sorts of context your images are inevitably re-used, which is a sign of success, and also an opportunity. Getting insights as to how your customer base interacts with your brand can even be inspiring in terms of new ideas, if perhaps your product appeals to a demographic that wasn’t considered particularly important at the time of planning out your product.
The second aspect to consider, which is perhaps even more important for smaller businesses, is to monitor the fair use of the media related to your product or service. it is not uncommon on the web to find websites with misleading and even stolen imagery. It is very important to regularly make sure that your work isn’t appropriate, as it is equally important to avoid using images in your website that might not fall under fair use, but that can maybe be properly credited. This is why reverse image searching can be so valuable.
There are several ways to perform a reverse image search, but there’s a very strong argument in favor of choosing an API to do it for you.
Why An API?
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of protocols that allows two or more software programs to communicate with one another to exchange data or make requests. Its main strength is that they can be integrated into your app or website, promoting the automation of certain processes. Due to their “prepackaged” nature, they can be very useful in speeding up development time. Zyla’s Reverse Image Search API is the solution we recommend because for it to work it only requires a URL as an input and returns results in a matter of seconds. After the initial URL input, you’ll get other URLs to the sites where said the image was used before as output, which you can use to compare to the initial query. In its raw form, it looks like this:
