API endpoint for uploading images and generating AI-based text descriptions of the image content.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use the Image-to-Text Description API Endpoint template:

Introduction

This template provides an API endpoint for uploading images and generating AI-based text descriptions of the image content. It uses FastAPI to create a simple server that accepts image uploads and leverages an AI model to analyze and describe the images.

Getting Started

1. Click "Start with this Template" to begin using this template in the Lazy Builder interface.

2. Press the "Test" button to initiate the deployment of the app and launch the Lazy CLI.

Using the API

Once the app is deployed, you'll receive a dedicated server link to access the API. Additionally, you'll get a link to the FastAPI documentation (usually ending with /docs), which provides an interactive interface to test the API.

Uploading an Image

To use the API, you need to send a POST request to the /analyze-image endpoint with an image file. Here's a sample request using cURL:

bash curl -X POST "https://your-api-url/analyze-image" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "file=@path/to/your/image.jpg"

Replace https://your-api-url with the actual URL provided by Lazy, and path/to/your/image.jpg with the path to the image you want to analyze.

Sample Response

The API will return a JSON response with the image description. Here's an example:

json { "status": "success", "description": "The image shows a serene landscape with a calm lake reflecting the surrounding mountains. In the foreground, there's a wooden dock extending into the water. The sky is clear with a few wispy clouds, and the overall scene suggests a peaceful, early morning atmosphere in a mountainous region." }

Integrating the API

To integrate this API into your application or service, you'll need to make HTTP POST requests to the provided API endpoint. Here's an example of how you might do this using Python and the requests library:

```python import requests

def analyze_image(image_path, api_url): with open(image_path, 'rb') as image_file: files = {'file': image_file} response = requests.post(f"{api_url}/analyze-image", files=files)

if response.status_code == 200:
    result = response.json()
    return result['description']
else:
    return f"Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}"

Usage

api_url = "https://your-api-url" # Replace with your actual API URL image_path = "path/to/your/image.jpg" description = analyze_image(image_path, api_url) print(description) ```

Remember to replace "https://your-api-url" with the actual URL provided by Lazy for your deployed API.

By following these steps, you can easily use and integrate the Image-to-Text Description API Endpoint into your projects.
