AI media creation has expanded to incredible video art and a host of other important improvements, and LimeWire is leading the way in creating an awesome interface for the average user to become an AI artist. Limewire has just released its , a method for engineers like us to create dynamic AI art on the fly!

Quick Hits

• Free to sign up!
• Provides methods to create a variety of quality images from any number of AI services and algorithms
• Create images based on text and other images
• Modify existing images to scale them, remove backgrounds, and more
• Use JavaScript, PHP, Python, or any of your favorite languages
• Documentation is clean and easy to understand
• Very easy to get started

A simple API call is as easy as:

curl -i -X POST 
  https://api.limewire.com/api/image/generation 
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer MY_API_KEY' 
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 
  -H 'Accept: application/json' 
  -H 'X-Api-Version: v1' 
  -d '{
    "prompt": "A beautiful princess in front of her kingdom",
    "aspect_ratio": "1:1"
  }'

You can also upscale an existing, uploaded image:

curl -i -X POST 
  https://api.limewire.com/api/image/upscaling 
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer MY_API_KEY' 
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 
  -H 'Accept: application/json' 
  -H 'X-Api-Version: v1' 
  -d '{
    "image_asset_id": "116a972f-666a-44a1-a3df-c9c28a1f56c0",
    "upscale_factor": 4
  }'

The value in creating AI art dynamically is hard to stress the enormity of for engineers and authors alike. Rather than scouring Google Images for image to match my blog post, I can use LimeWire’s API to send keywords from the article to create a representative image. Likewise, authors can feed their story to LimeWire to generate illustrations! You can even integrate the developer API into your platform for your users to employ!

Give LimeWire’s new developer API a try! LimeWire lets you create AI images where you are!

Time can be a funny thing. I still remember discovering HTML, CSS, and JavaScript coding. I still remember my first college programming course. I still remember my first day at my first coding job, then my first day at my second coding job, and then my first day at Mozilla. I still remember my first day coding for MetaMask. This year marks my 20th year as a professional software engineer and it’s happened in the blink of an eye.

Every once in a while I will make an old programming reference to a much younger engineer and then realize they have no idea what I’m talking about.

I’m so old…

• Webpage layouts were being done with <table>s and this new “CSS float” property was becoming the new standard
• Rounded corners were achieved via images and VML hacks for Internet Explorer
• FTP was the best way to upload websites changes
• SVN and copying its trunk was the best versioning tool
• alert and confirm were the standard for “modals”
• Firebug was the best debugging tool available
• The “standard” for getting videos to play properly was finding the right codec to install
• ActionScript knowledge was as valuable as JavaScript knowledge
• Dreamweaver was best in class text editor and design tool
• XML was the future of data structures
• Mobile-first? Mobile didn’t exist
• Reactive navigation? How about Java Applets…
• …or even different <img src=""> upon mouseover and mouseleave!
• Want to code a desktop app with web tech? Try Adobe Air!
• NPM stood for “not performant, man”
• Voting on a poll meant the page would refresh
• “Social media” meant HotOrNot.com
• The love sound of the web was a 56k modem connection purrrrr
• Disabling right-click enforced image security
• Bitmap (.bmp) was a viable image format
• JavaScript had a competitor called JScript
• let you detect where your user had been
• Cookies were the pinnacle of user tracking
• Social media wall? It’s called a “guestbook”…
• …and a friends list? It’s called a “web ring’
• Search engine optimization was spamming the <title> with keywords=

Whew, those where the days. How old are you in web?
