About The Project

Tired of uploading pictures to your social media, but also need them on your personal websites? This is an API that extracts thumbnail URLs of shots made by a user on different media platforms. This enables the user to display their creative pieces in different locations while only posting on one.

Built With

• Flask
• Vercel

Usage

Currently accessible at: https://socialmedia-image-scapel.vercel.app/
