API Overview
We provide a web API, located at api.zoom.it, for programmatic access to Zoom.it.
Just like the site, you give it the URL to an image on the web, and you get back a Zoom.it short URL and an embeddable viewer.
In addition, the API exposes the underlying Deep Zoom Image and surrounding metadata, which you can use to power your own apps and experiences.
Quickstarts
Our API quickstarts help you hit the ground running in no time at all.
Formats
Our API offers both RESTful and non-RESTful behavior and supports both XML and JSON (as well as JSONP) to make it easy to use across a variety of platforms.
Reference
Our API reference provides detailed information about the objects we return and the methods we expose.
Helper Libraries
We provide helper .NET and Silverlight class libraries to abstract away the low-level logic of making HTTP requests and parsing XML or JSON responses.
Disclaimer
This service is an experiment. As such, we recommend using it to progressively enhance your app's experience rather than depending on it for your app's functionality.
