FREE API / SERVER-SIDE

Read media files
from your own code.

Use one endpoint for image metadata and model layers, or audio/video container, stream and tag data. Results are returned as bounded JSON and are not stored.

SESSION KEY / 24 HOURS

Your free API key

Creating your session API key…

Bearer key

Expires: — · 20 analyses · 500 MB total · one active request. A new key revokes the previous key from this browser session.

QUICK START

Upload one media file

curl -X POST https://aimetadata.online/api/v1/analyze \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -F "file=@asset.png"

The issued Bearer works in curl and backend code for 24 hours without sending the browser session cookie.

RESPONSE SCOPE

The layers depend on media type

Images: PNG text, EXIF, XMP, prompts, workflows and C2PA
Images: CPU visual estimate, content-risk estimate and COCO objects
Audio/video: format, duration, codecs, streams and bounded tags
Every response: model/parser versions, limitations and quota

LIVE TEST

The selected file is uploaded to a temporary private directory and deleted before the JSON response is returned. Nothing enters the public gallery.
