Image Color Extractor API FAQs

The Extractor endpoint returns data on dominant colors extracted from an image, including background and foreground colors, their RGB values, HTML color codes, and the percentage of each color's presence in the image.

Key fields in the response include "colors," which contains "background_colors" and "foreground_colors," each with attributes like "r," "g," "b," "html_code," and "percent," indicating the color's RGB values, HTML representation, and its proportion in the image.

The response data is structured as a JSON object with a "result" key. Within this, the "colors" key contains arrays for "background_colors" and "foreground_colors," each detailing individual color attributes, allowing for easy parsing and analysis.

The Extractor endpoint primarily accepts an image URL as a parameter. Users can customize their requests by providing different image URLs to extract colors from various images, enabling diverse applications.

Data accuracy is maintained through advanced algorithms that analyze color frequencies and proportions in images. Continuous updates and improvements to these algorithms ensure reliable and precise color extraction results.

Typical use cases include generating color palettes for design, conducting color-based image searches, enhancing e-commerce product filtering, and automating background color detection for web applications, making it versatile for various industries.

Users can utilize the returned data by integrating it into applications for color-based searches, creating visually appealing designs, or adjusting images based on dominant colors. The detailed attributes allow for tailored implementations in design and marketing.

Users can expect a consistent structure in the response, with dominant colors typically showing higher percentages. Background colors often have a greater presence than foreground colors, reflecting the image's overall color scheme.

When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website.

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the 'X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining' field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.

You can monitor your API usage through the response headers included with every request:

x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-used: Shows the total number of API requests you have used during the current billing period.
x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-remaining: Shows the number of API requests you have remaining for the current billing period.

The 'X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset' header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time. Simply go to the Pricing section of the API you're subscribed to and click the "Unsubscribe" button.
