Image Match API

The Image Match API compares images, identifying similarities and differences based on visual analysis, ideal for content moderation and authentication.

About the API:  

The Image Match API is a robust tool for image analysis. It employs advanced algorithms and machine learning methods to perform tasks such as image recognition, similarity assessment across multiple industries and applications.

Fundamentally, this API facilitates the evaluation of visual content, excelling in tasks such as duplicate identification and image similarity detection. This capability is especially advantageous in situations where manual inspection would be inefficient or error-prone due to the large volume of images.

One of the main advantages of using an Image Match API is its ability to provide consistent and unbiased results. Unlike human evaluation, which can be subjective and influenced by multiple factors, the API uses predefined metrics and computational models to ensure the accuracy and reliability of its analysis. This makes it indispensable in fields where accuracy and reliability are paramount, such as manufacturing quality control or forensic investigations in law enforcement.

In essence, the adoption of an Image Match API represents a major leap forward in image processing technology, providing sophisticated tools to effectively leverage and interpret visual data.

Image Match API FAQs

The Image Match API allows you to compare images to determine if they are identical or similar based on predefined criteria.

There are different plans to suit everyone, including a free trial for a small number of requests, but its rate is limited to avoid abuse of the service.

Zyla provides a wide range of integration methods for almost all programming languages. You can use these codes to integrate with your project as you need.

The Image Match API is essential because it makes it easy for users to automatically compare images. This saves time, reduces human error, and allows large volumes of images to be analyzed efficiently and accurately.

To use this API users must indicate 2 images to verify their similarity.

The Image Similarity endpoint returns a JSON object containing the comparison results of two images, including whether they are the same, a confidence score indicating similarity, and the URLs of the images compared.

The key fields in the response data include "success" (indicating if the comparison was successful), "is_same" (a boolean showing if the images are identical), and "confidence_score" (a numerical value representing the similarity level).

The response data is structured as a JSON object with an "output" key, which contains the results of the image comparison, including success status, similarity indication, confidence score, and the URLs of the images.

The Image Similarity endpoint requires two parameters: the URLs of the images to be compared. Users must provide valid image URLs to receive a comparison result.

Users can customize their requests by selecting different image URLs for comparison. This allows for flexible testing of various images to assess similarity based on their specific needs.

Typical use cases include security and surveillance for license plate verification, parking lot management for vehicle entry validation, and access control for restricted facility management, among others.

Data accuracy is maintained through advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques that ensure consistent and unbiased image analysis, minimizing human error and subjectivity in evaluations.

Users can expect a consistent response structure with fields indicating success, similarity status, and a confidence score. The confidence score typically ranges from 0 to 1, where values closer to 1 indicate higher similarity.

General FAQs

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). 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. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

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 β€˜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.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1,000 requests per month, this header will display 1,000.

The β€˜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 plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]

To give you the opportunity to experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost. This trial can be used only once, so we recommend applying it to the API that interests you the most. While most of our APIs offer a free trial, some may not. The trial concludes after 7 days or once you've made 50 requests, whichever occurs first. If you reach the 50 request limit during the trial, you will need to "Start Your Paid Plan" to continue making requests. You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab. Alternatively, if you don't cancel your subscription before the 7th day, your free trial will end, and your plan will automatically be billed, granting you access to all the API calls specified in your plan. Please keep this in mind to avoid unwanted charges.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.

Payout Orders are processed between the 20th and the 30th of each month. If you submit your request before the 20th, your payment will be processed within this timeframe.
