Feature request: API for dezoomify?

[gilbh]

Greetings,

Any chances to send a url and receive a PNG back via an API request (or a command-line tool)?

Thanks.

Running dezoomify as an API would not be free, but if you are ready to finance that, shoot me an email at contact at ophir dot dev

If you want a command-line tool, there is dezoomify-rs

With thanks!!

Hi Ophir,

Is dezoomify-rs engine identical to the one in the web interface? The following works fine: https://ophir.alwaysdata.net/dezoomify/dezoomify.html#http://images.eap.bl.uk/EAP673/EAP673_1_18/130.jp2/full/90,/0/default.jpg

-- and generates a valid PNG in the browser. But running the same URL using dezoomify-rs: dezoomify-rs.exe http://images.eap.bl.uk/EAP673/EAP673_1_18/130.jp2/full/90,/0/default.jpg throws the following errors:

dezoomify-rs expects a zoomable image meta-information file URL. To find this URL, you can use the dezoomify browser extension, which you can download at
- https://lovasoa.github.io/dezoomify-extension/
If this doesn't help, then your image may be in a format that is not yet supported by dezoomify-rs.
You can ask for a new format to be supported by opening a new issue on https://github.com/lovasoa/dezoomify-rs/issues

Or do I have to use the browser/browser-extension every time for the meta-information file URL?

No it's not. Please read the documentation.

In your case, the URL you want to pass to dezoomify-rs is

http://images.eap.bl.uk/EAP673/EAP673_1_18/130.jp2/info.json
