# SiteCheck Photo EXIF Extractor

> SiteCheck Photo EXIF Extractor is a paid API for AI agents from api.sitecheck-api.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-14).

Fetches an image URL and returns its EXIF metadata including GPS coordinates, camera details, exposure settings, and capture timestamp

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 sitecheck-photo-exif-extractor-84a6d537
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the EXIF data from this photo — https://example.com/photo.jpg — and tell me where it was taken, what camera was used, and when the shot was captured?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract embedded metadata from a remote image file without downloading or processing it locally. It is ideal for verifying photo provenance, extracting GPS location from geotagged images, identifying camera equipment from photos shared as URLs, or checking capture timestamps for evidentiary or archival purposes. Prefer this over general-purpose image analysis tools when the structured EXIF fields (GPS, camera, exposure, timestamp) are specifically needed rather than visual content analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL returns a non-image or unsupported file type
- Image has no EXIF data — hasExif returns false
- Image has no GPS data — hasGps returns false, gps field absent
- Only first 256 KB is read so very large images may yield incomplete metadata
- EXIF timestamps have no timezone and are interpreted as UTC, which may be inaccurate
- URL is unreachable or returns HTTP error
- Non-JPEG/HEIC/TIFF/PNG formats not supported

## Output

Returns a JSON object with GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude, Google Maps link), camera details (make, model, lens, software), capture timestamp, exposure settings (ISO, shutter speed, aperture, focal length in mm), image dimensions (width, height), file format, orientation, bytes read, and whether EXIF/GPS data is present. Also includes the resolved final URL and the time the check was performed.
