AI Image Search API

How to build reverse image search via API via API

Need to let users upload an image and find matches in your catalog? PixelAPI's ai image search api handles it in under 1 seconds at $0.001 per query.

The 3-step API call

1. Sign up at pixelapi.dev — get 5,000 free credits (24-hour trial), no card.
2. POST your input to /v1/search/visual.
3. Receive a public output URL in seconds.

Code sample

curl -X POST https://api.pixelapi.dev/v1/search/visual \
  -H "X-API-Key: $PIXELAPI_KEY" \
  -F "query_image=@needle.jpg" \
  -F "top_k=10"

Why this works for this use case

Hybrid search — combines visual embeddings + text descriptions. Index size limits: 1M images on Starter, 10M on Pro, unlimited on Scale. Sub-second query response. Output is production-ready, suitable for catalog work, ad creative, and consumer-facing apps.

Pricing

$0.001 per query. The first 100 calls are free on signup. Higher volume → lower per-call rate (Pro plan = 60K credits for $50, Scale = 300K credits for $349).
