Introduction

The JigLabs API is the interface where you can submit a request to receive the calculated response from a particular model based on your API Key.

API Calls can be made either with JSON payload or by sending multipart/form-data. The response is application/json -type.

To get your API Key, contact us at: info@jiglabs.io

API Call Location

The URL needed for an API call is:

https://api.jiglabs.io:443/classify/image

API Call Authorization

All API calls are authorized by using Caller ID, denoted in the examples as YOUR_API_KEY. The ID can be delivered in the HTTP header "Authorization" (standard way) or as html-form/JSON paramater "authorization".

Example HTTP header (Note: standard requires 'Bearer' before actual id):

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Example HTML header:

<input type="text" name="authorization">

Example JSON parameter:

"authorization":"YOUR_API_KEY"

API Call by HTML Form

An HTML form can be used to make an API call. It must be delivered as "multipart/form-data" HTTP POST and the character encoding must be UTF-8. If the authorization ID is not delivered as part of the HTTP header, then it can be used with the parameter "authorization".
