​
Description

By default, all images created using the API are private and can only be accessed by the user who created them via the API key. This endpoint allows you to make a private image public, so that it can be accessed by anyone.

Publishing an image adds it to a CDN, allowing it to be accessed faster and more efficiently.

After publishing an image, the url field of the image object will be updated with the public URL. You can still access the image using the private download URL, but the public URL can be shared with others.

​

​

image_{string}

The unique identifier of the image. This identifier is used to reference the image in subsequent requests.

​
name
string

The name of the image. This name is provided when uploading the image and is the way the image is identified in your account. It is not unique, in fact, each transformation you make to an image will create a new image with the same name.

​
