Leveraging SellerMagnetAPI for Image Audits

The response includes a list of image URLs under the data.productInfo.images field. You can then use these URLs to programmatically check for image quality, compliance, and consistency.
Automating the Audit Process
Once you have the image URLs, you can integrate them into your audit pipeline. This involves several steps:
- Download Images: Download the images from the URLs provided by the API.
- Analyze Images: Use image processing libraries or services to check for resolution, clarity, and other quality metrics.
- Compare Images: Compare the images against a baseline to ensure consistency.
- Report Issues: Generate a report highlighting any images that fail the audit criteria.
This automated process can be scheduled using our DataPipeline feature, to provide you with updated information on the products of interest.
Further Enhancements
- Monitor Competitor Images: Use the Amazon Search API to find competitor products and audit their images.
- Track Image Changes: Periodically retrieve product images and compare them over time to detect any unauthorized changes.
