I guess most of you agree that nothing is as motivating as seeing people being enthusiastic<\/b> about what you do. And that\u2019s why we feel privileged to have some real supporters among you guys!<\/p>\n

We are happy to announce that now we have some great community-supported kit\/clients for Imagga API in Ruby and Java<\/b>!<\/p>\n

Trying to stick to the MVP approach<\/b> when launching our platform<\/a> in the end of this January, we decided that it\u2019s absolutely OK to have only a PHP client and a well written concise documentation<\/a> that still allows developers integrate the API in other platforms, until we manage to implement multiple platform kits later on.<\/p>\n

We thought that if hackers are eager enough<\/b> to try and use our API it should be OK for them to spend an hour or two figuring out how to make the proper HTTP calls on their own, in their development platforms of choice.\u00a0Happily enough, this turned out to be right!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ruby<\/i><\/p>\n

The first version of the Ruby client<\/b> was implemented in about two hours by Mart Karu<\/b><\/a> during Seedhack<\/a> in February! The ColourTag.me<\/a> team formed during the hackathon was eager to use Imagga\u2019s color extraction<\/a> and they were using Ruby, so Mart did the \u2018hackwork\u2019. He was kind to publish it on GitHub \u2013 https:\/\/github.com\/martkaru\/imagga<\/a>\u00a0– and to continue supporting it after that. Big Thanks Mart!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Java (registered trademark of ORACLE)<\/i><\/p>\n

The Java API kit<\/b> is implemented and constantly updated by Jakob Vad Nielsen<\/b><\/a>. He contacted us long time ago, when we still haven\u2019t launched Imagga API<\/a>\u00a0publicly, and we took the chance to contact him back once we were ready. Soon after he shared that he has implemented and published a Java kit, available in GitHub again \u2013 https:\/\/github.com\/lazee\/imagga-java-kit<\/a>. Big Thanks to Jakob, also for his feature and tweak requests that make a lot of sense, and for being that rapid in keeping the kit up to date with the constant changes we apply to the API!<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s your turn<\/b>!\u00a0 We are currently focusing the majority of our technical efforts to providing more advanced<\/a> and scalable technology. That\u2019s why porting the Imagga API client\/kit to some other platforms unfortunately\u00a0is out of our very-short-term backlog. But that\u2019s where you can help! Do you feel enthusiastic<\/b> about what we do and want to try it out, but your preferred platform is neither PHP, nor Ruby, nor Java? You are more than welcome to wrap a client for it and share it with others!\u00a0Node.js<\/b>, .NET\/C#<\/b> and Python<\/b> for example would be very nice additions<\/b> to our kit-supported platforms.\u00a0Of course, we will help as much as possible in providing relevant info and support, in addition to the color<\/a> and cropping API docs<\/a> that are already there.<\/p>\n

We are starting to <\/b>hire<\/b><\/a> soon<\/b>, and implementing a tidy kit for Imagga API in a new platform is definitely a plus for those who want to apply. And the good karma<\/b> should be enough for the others? Please contact us<\/b> if you think so\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
