Why Add Image Verification?
If your application handles user-uploaded images — whether for marketplaces, social platforms, insurance claims, or content management — you need a way to verify authenticity. The Original Pictures API makes this straightforward.
Quick Start
1. Get Your API Key
Sign up at originalpictures.cc/developers and generate an API key from your dashboard.
2. Verify an Image
curl -X POST https://api.originalpictures.cc/v1/verify \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-F "file=@photo.jpg"
The response includes whether the image has a valid C2PA manifest, the signing identity, edit history, timestamp information, and a trust score.
3. Sign an Image
curl -X POST https://api.originalpictures.cc/v1/sign \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-F "file=@photo.jpg" \
-F "identity=your-org-name"
The signed image is returned with an embedded C2PA manifest.
4. Display a Trust Badge
Use our JavaScript widget to show verification status:
<script src="https://originalpictures.cc/widget.js"></script>
<img src="photo.jpg" data-op-verify="true" />
The widget automatically checks the image and displays a trust indicator.
Use Cases
E-commerce
Verify product photos are authentic and unmanipulated. Display trust badges to increase buyer confidence.
Insurance

Social Platforms
Let users verify the images they encounter. Build trust features into your platform.
Content Management

SDK Support
We provide official SDKs for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, and Ruby — all available via our developer hub.
What's Next?
Once you're verifying images, consider setting up webhooks for async verification, using batch verification for high-volume processing, and integrating trust badges into your UI.
