Purlo¶
A small, developer-friendly image-processing API. One call: resize, convert, compress, and strip metadata — done. No account dashboard to learn, no SDK to install, no images ever stored.
curl -X POST https://api.purlo.dev/v1/image \
-H "Authorization: Bearer purlo_YOUR_KEY" \
-F 'operations={"resize":{"w":800},"format":"webp","quality":80,"strip":true}' \
-F "image=@photo.jpg" \
-o out.webp
That's the whole API. Everything below is detail.
Docs¶
- Quickstart — signup to first successful call, under five minutes.
- Endpoint reference — every operation, parameter, default, and the order they run in.
- Authentication — getting and using an API key.
- Errors & limits — status codes, quotas, rate limits, the 429 body.
- Privacy — what happens to your images (nothing is stored).
- Examples — the same call in curl, JavaScript, PHP, and Python.
The pitch¶
One chainable pipeline endpoint — resize → format/quality → strip — instead
of seven separate tools. Cheap, simple, and built for a solo developer to integrate
in ten minutes, not an afternoon with enterprise docs.
