An Image Proxy for use with NFTs

Project Updates
3

Hi Everyone,

A quick update from the team. We have finished with our first version of the image proxy and are in the midst of final reviews and preparations for making a production instance available to you soon.

In the meanwhile, if you would like to try out the proxy for your own or perhaps start integrating it with your stack, we have two options available for you:

  1. For limited amount of time, we have a beta/preview version of the image proxy available at the url: https://imgproxy-preview.cryptonomic-infra.tech

  2. Instructions for setting up a local dockerized instance of your own. These are available in the repository.

API documentation is available on our github repository: GitHub - Cryptonomic/ImageProxy: Image Proxy for use with Wallets. The documentation includes examples which will work with the above preview server.

A few things to note:

  1. The proxy can fetch images from HTTP or IPFS urls only.

  2. The proxy supports fetching images of the following formats: jpg, png, tiff, gif, bmp. More formats will be added later.

  3. Moderation services are provided by AWS. Note that any results provided by moderation are suggestive in nature.

  4. An API key is required for making requests. A default key is provided in the examples within the API documentation. This key will work with both the preview server and a local dockerized instance.

  5. A javascript / typescript wrapper library is in the works to make integration with the proxy easy.

If you encounter any issues while trying out the proxy or have feature requests, comments or critiques, please open a github ticket. We will try to address them before our production release.

Thanks
