TinEye API
APIReverse image search API that finds where an image appears on the web
- Access
- API key (X-API-KEY header)
About
Searches TinEye's multi-billion web image index for copies of an image, even cropped, resized or edited, and returns matching image URLs, the pages they appear on and stock-photo flags. It only finds copies TinEye has crawled, not duplicates in your own library.
What you can do with it
- Find the web pages that use a photo, even after it was cropped, resized or edited
- Check whether an uploaded profile or listing photo is a stock or copied image
- Track where your brand or product images are reused across the web
Get started
- Buy a search bundle and copy your API key
- Test your code with the sandbox key, which returns sample matches
- Search by image URL or upload, from server-side code only
