Index images for search

To get started with search, you must first add images to the search index. You can add one or more images to the index at a time. You can supply an image either with a publicly accessible URL or by directly sending image bytes. You can send up to 128 images in one API call.

js

app.inputs.create([
  {url: "https://samples.clarifai.com/metro-north.jpg"},
  {url: "https://samples.clarifai.com/wedding.jpg"},
  {base64: "G7p3m95uAl..."}
]).then(

  function(response) {
    // do something with response
  },
  function(err) {
    // there was an error
  }
);
