# Vextorium Image Metadata Extractor

> Vextorium Image Metadata Extractor is a paid API for AI agents from api.vextorium.com, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-15).

Extracts technical metadata from an image (format, dimensions, MIME type, EXIF data, GPS presence, animation, color mode, etc.) given a URL or base64-encoded image.

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 vextorium-image-metadata-extractor-7ff0ea5c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the technical metadata from this image — https://example.com/photo.jpg — and tell me the format, dimensions, color mode, file size, and whether it has any GPS or EXIF data embedded?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need lightweight, low-cost technical metadata extraction from an image without performing full AI-based image analysis. Ideal for pre-processing pipelines, content validation, privacy audits (GPS detection), and format verification. Prefer over vision AI endpoints when you need structured file properties rather than semantic image understanding.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable image URL returns an error or null fields
- Malformed base64 input causes parsing failure
- Unsupported image formats may return partial or null metadata
- Network timeout if remote image URL is slow to respond
- Missing required body fields (url or base64_img) causes validation error

## How this service works

Metadata of an image (URL or base64): format, dimensions, color mode, transparency, size, DPI, animation and EXIF (camera, date, software), flagging embedded GPS location.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: MIME type, format (e.g. PNG/JPEG), width in pixels, height (high) in pixels, file size in bytes, megapixels, DPI, number of frames, animated boolean, color mode (e.g. RGB), transparency boolean, contains_gps boolean, EXIF data object, and an optional notice field.
