Get Metadata from Image using Python REST API

Python REST API allows you to quickly retrieve detailed metadata from an image file such as a JPEG or PNG using Aspose.Imaging Cloud SDK. This short tutorial shows how to fetch picture metadata with a few lines of Python code and the low‑code API, including how to access Exif data for JPEG images.

Prerequisite

Steps for Extracting Metadata from Images using Python REST Interface

  1. Create the ImagingApi class object by setting the client secret, ID, base URL, and API version
  2. Select the input image, read it into a memory stream, and upload it to the Cloud storage
  3. Create an image properties request using the GetImagePropertiesRequest() method
  4. Get the image properties using the GetImageProperties() method
  5. Parse the response from the API and display all the properties

These steps describe how to check metadata of a photo using the Python‑based API. Create the ImagingApi class object using the client secret and ID, read the image into the memory stream, upload it to the Cloud storage, and create a request to get properties of an image using the GetImagePropertiesRequest() method. Call the GetImageProperties() method by passing the request object and retrieve the properties from the API response.

Code to View Picture Metadata using Python RESTful Service

This code demonstrates how to fetch the image metadata using the Python low‑code API. If the loaded image is a JPEG, the JpegExifData provides additional properties for the JPEG. Note that based on the type of image, the respective properties—such as JpegProperties, PngProperties, GifProperties, etc.—are populated and can be used for identifying the image type.

The article has taught us the process to retrieve image properties. To convert TIFF to JPG, refer to the article Convert TIFF to JPG using Python REST API.
