How the Blitline JSON API works

Get started with the Blitline JSON API in 3 easy steps.
Getting started with Blitline is easy, but best of all – future maintenance is easier than the alternatives so you can keep technical debt low for your platform and keep your DevOps team focused on core product work. Below is a simple summary of how Blitline works.


Powerful and Mature JSON API

Not all operations can fit neatly in a URL or RESTful operation. In fact, very few can, so we have built a robust system for supporting very complicated operations and workflow pipelines for image processing.

You submit JSON to use and we'll get back to you, usually in milliseconds, when the operation has completed.


 
# Blitline JSON
{
# Where you want Blitline to 'get' the image from
"src" : "http://www.google.com/logos/2011/yokoyama11-hp.jpg"
 
# Your secret ID so that we know who you are
"application_id" : "YOUR_APP_ID"
 
# Define some functions for Blitline to perform
"functions : [{
 
"name" : "resize_to_fit"
# Set the parameters for the function
"params" : { "width" : 100 }
 
# You can define where you want the image to go
# or if you don't, we'll auto store it for a day.
"save" : { "image_identifier" : "MY_CLIENT_ID" }
 
}]
}
