Questions
FAQ
How do I use the Channel3 Image Search API?
Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/channel3/image-search with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.
How much does the Channel3 Image Search API cost?
$0.007 per call, billed from your SandBase balance. You are only charged for calls you make; there is no subscription.
What parameters does the Channel3 Image Search API accept?
Required: image_url (string). Optional: limit (any), config (object), filters (object), segment (any) and page_token (any). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.
What does the Channel3 Image Search API return?
A JSON result. This endpoint runs asynchronously, so the response tells you how to fetch the finished result.
Do I need a Channel3 developer account or API key?
No. Channel3 Image Search runs through SandBase, so one SandBase API key covers this endpoint and every other API and model in the catalog. You do not need to apply for Channel3 API access separately.
