Image Enrichment
Move from a list of image URLs to records your application can reason about—size, format and visual metadata are attached before the next media step.

Where teams use Image Enrichment
These examples map to the endpoint's current inputs and outputs—not hypothetical platform features.
Remove tiny, unsupported or unsuitable images before they reach a CMS or generation workflow.
Use MIME and dimensions to decide whether an asset should be resized, compressed or converted.
Store enriched image metadata alongside source pages and hosted URLs.

Developer FAQ
Common questions about Image Enrichment
How is image enrichment different from scrape images?
Scrape images finds assets. Image enrichment adds metadata such as type, dimensions, MIME and colors.
Can it detect product images?
It can classify common asset roles. Product-specific accuracy improves when combined with Product Extraction.
Can I host enriched media?
When hosted URL output is enabled, assets can be copied into generated media storage and returned as stable URLs.
What endpoint should I call for Image Enrichment?
Use GET /v1/web/scrape/images. Local development accepts the X-API-Key header with YOUR_API_KEY, and production clients can use the same shape with their own key.
Can I call it from CLI, SDK, MCP and no-code tools?
Yes. The same endpoint can be called with curl, the TypeScript SDK, Python SDK, MCP server, Zapier, Make, n8n, Google Sheets or Excel workflows where appropriate.
How does caching with maxAgeMs work?
When maxAgeMs is supported, a cached response can be reused if it is younger than the requested freshness window. Set maxAgeMs to 0 when you need a fresh scrape or extraction.
What happens when a page is blocked or requires login?
The API returns clear states such as blocked, verification_required, login_required, robots_disallowed or permission_required. It does not promise to bypass access controls.
Which response fields should I store?
Most integrations store images[].classification, images[].width, images[].height, images[].dominantColors, plus source URL, status, confidence and timestamp fields when present. Keep source metadata so users can audit values later.
Can I batch this endpoint?
For local or small workflows, loop over a list of URLs or domains. For larger jobs, use crawl, batch workflow endpoints or a queue so failures and retries are tracked cleanly.
How should I handle errors in production?
Check success, HTTP status, error.type and retryable flags. Retry timeouts and temporary network failures, but do not retry robots, login or permission errors without changing input or authorization.
Does the API work with JavaScript-heavy sites?
The engine router starts with fast fetching and escalates when content quality is low. Browser-style rendering is used where available, while access-control barriers are reported explicitly.
Is this safe to use with customer data?
Send only domains, URLs or fields your workflow needs. Use retention controls for generated artifacts and avoid storing unnecessary raw HTML, screenshots or extracted personal data.
