API: Chute
Chute is a visual marketing platform that allows users to search for media such as photos and videos that align with their marketing needs. Their developer API provides access to its services so developers can integrate the functionality of Chute with other applications. It enables developers to add media capture, management, metadata, and publishing to applications or websites. Even though this API allows users to access many media files, I believe the sources of the media files might not be accessible. It probably exists because Chute has to collect data about the media files but I don’t think users will be able to access the specific information about who posted the media file or through what kind of device it’s uploaded.
Examples of how you can use the Chute API include:
- Count the number of likes for media assets such as photos and videos.
- Explore photos and videos by location filters to see what’s trending in certain areas.
- Programmatically import media assets from websites and social media services such as Instagram.
