# JPEG Image Metadata Extractor

> JPEG Image Metadata Extractor is a paid API for AI agents from tools.rocketman.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-20).

Extracts and returns camera, time, location, and capture settings embedded in a JPEG image's EXIF/metadata.

## 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 jpeg-image-metadata-extractor-e4d15b54 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you read all the embedded metadata from this JPEG — I want to know what camera took it, when, where, and what the exposure settings were?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to read and inspect metadata already embedded in a JPEG image, such as determining where/when/how a photo was taken. Use this for forensic inspection, photo organization, or verification tasks. If you instead want to strip or remove that metadata, use the sibling endpoint on tools.rocketman.dev that sanitizes JPEG metadata.

## Known failure modes

- Non-JPEG file submitted — endpoint expects image/jpeg binary
- Image has no embedded metadata — returns empty or minimal metadata fields
- Corrupted or truncated JPEG — may fail to parse
- File too large — potential payload size rejection
- Binary encoding mismatch — base64 vs raw binary confusion

## How this service works

Use when you need to inspect the camera, time, location and capture settings embedded in a JPEG image.

## Output

Returns structured metadata extracted from the JPEG including camera make/model, capture date/time, GPS latitude and longitude, ISO, aperture (f-stop), shutter speed, focal length, image dimensions, and other EXIF/XMP fields present in the file.
