# EXIF Metadata Extractor from Image URL

> EXIF Metadata Extractor from Image URL is a paid API for AI agents from api.x402node.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Extracts EXIF metadata (camera, lens, ISO, exposure, GPS, datetime, dimensions) from a JPEG or TIFF image given its URL

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-x402node-dev-58635c6a
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the EXIF metadata from this photo — https://example.com/photo.jpg — and tell me the camera make and model, GPS coordinates, ISO, exposure settings, and when it was taken?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically read EXIF metadata from a publicly accessible JPEG or TIFF image URL — especially for photo provenance auditing, geolocation extraction from images, building EXIF-stripping pipelines, or organizing photos by camera, date, or location. Prefer this over client-side EXIF libraries when operating in an agentic pipeline with no local file access, or when the image is remote.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL is not accessible or returns a non-200 status — endpoint cannot fetch the image
- Image is not a JPEG or TIFF (e.g. PNG, WebP, HEIC) — EXIF extraction may fail or return empty
- Image has no embedded EXIF metadata (e.g. was stripped) — returns empty or partial fields
- Invalid or malformed URL provided — request fails with a 4xx error
- Payment not provided or invalid — returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Extract EXIF metadata from a JPEG/TIFF image URL. Returns camera make/model, lens, ISO, exposure, focal length, GPS coords, dimensions, datetime taken, orientation. Use url param Built for AI agents auditing photo provenance, building EXIF-stripping pipelines, or photo organization. Accepts payment on Base or Solana — either network works.

## Output

Returns a structured object containing EXIF fields: camera make and model, lens information, ISO speed, exposure time, focal length, GPS latitude/longitude, image width and height, datetime the photo was taken, and orientation value — all parsed from the EXIF header of the supplied JPEG or TIFF image URL.
