Basic API Usage

Let's see how you can use our API to manipulate images. All the listed examples are made in Python.

# Let's call the index of the API to get the version.
import requests

response = requests.get("https://api.bytestobits.dev/v1/")

print(response.json())

You will receive a response like this:

{
    "version": "alpha-0.0.1",
    "title": "BytesToBits API",
    "description": "The Official BytesToBits API"
}

Great. Now, let's make a request to turn an image black and white. To begin, put an image in the same directory as your code.

import requests

IMAGE_PATH = "image.png"
API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"

response = requests.get("https://api.bytestobits.dev/v1/image/filter/blackwhite", headers={ "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}" }, files={
    "image": open(IMAGE_PATH, "rb")
})

with open("out.png", "wb+") as f:
    f.write(response.content)

This will save an image out.png, which is a black and white version of the image you provided.
