Massless has developed applications across AR/VR, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Web. We know how hard graphics is and the pain of supporting media across multiple platforms. Things that should be simple are often plagued with library, speed, or compatibility issues. We want to make this easier for developers working with images, documents, and videos so teams can launch fast and learn. The Massless Media API collects advanced machine learning and basic operations into one place with a simple REST API. This means you don’t have to manage multiple subscriptions and services. Whether you’re working in Javascript, Python, or C/C++/C# calling a REST API is a standard and simple interface for rapid application development. We use this API to develop our own products, like the Massless Media Bot, and we’re releasing it for the first time to external developers. For the future of AR/VR headsets, wearables, and mobile devices I believe more and more processing will be performed off device and streamed back over high speed connectivity. This will reduce power consumption and enable smaller form factors. The Massless Media API is a step towards making this a reality. We’re looking for makers to join us on this journey and shape the future of this API. If you’re a developer, please ask any questions, get an API key, and try it out! If you’re a founder or product manager then please share this with your developers and see if it can supercharge your application. As a special limited launch offer, all API calls are currently free!

@jackcohen Regarding chainAPI, why not club all the chain actions into single API call?

@prakis 💯 excellent Kishore! Developers will soon be able to submit media processing pipelines, execute them in a single call, and charge for external users 👌

@jackcohen I just finished 80% of your medium article and I am impressed with your journey. I have a upcoming product in image/video hosting and API (corona caused emotional and financial delays for this project). I like to discuss few things regarding it, what is the best way to reach you?

@prakis Thanks! That's kind of you to say. I'm sorry to hear about the impact of corona. I would be happy to help. You can reach me at jack@massless.io. Let's arrange a time to chat 😊 I highly recommend this report for APIs (if you haven't seen it already) https://www.postman.com/state-of...

Do you have pricing info an examples (bsides the documentation)?

@gilbert_mizrahi1 The API is currently free to use while we are in the launch phase. Following that, this is our working pricing sheet https://bit.ly/3ybQqyJ. However, we plan to review this based on the feedback of our early adopters. Let me know if you would like to discuss further. Starting tomorrow we'll be launching a series of blog posts with examples of using the API. I will be sure to share the link here. Do you have any particular examples or use cases you would like to see? I would be happy to cater some posts to your request. Thank you very much for the great question!
