Image info API — inspect before you process

Dimensions, format, colour space, EXIF/ICC presence as JSON. The cheap look-before-you-leap call for agent pipelines.

Quick start (curl)

Get a key first – no signup: curl -X POST https://api.bigapi.dev/v1/keys (100 free operations, 7 days).

curl -X POST https://api.bigapi.dev/v1/image/info -H 'Authorization: Bearer $KEY' -F 'file=@photo.jpg'

Give it to your agent (MCP)

Add BiGapi to Claude Desktop, Cursor or any MCP client – the server fetches its own key on first use:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bigapi": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@bigapi/mcp"] }
  }
}

Then simply ask: “Check this image: what format and size is it?” – the model calls the image_info tool.

When your agent needs this

• Route images by size/format before processing
• Detect missing colour profiles
• Validate uploads without loading pixels into the model
