    How It Works

    1

    Upload an image or provide a URL to the Mixpeek API.

    2

    A vision-language model analyzes the image content and composition.

    3

    The image is scored against each category in your selected taxonomy.

    4

    Multi-label classification assigns all relevant categories above the confidence threshold.

    5

    Hierarchical category paths are returned with confidence scores at each level.

    Code Examples

    from mixpeek import Mixpeek
    

    client = Mixpeek(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
    

    result = client.convert(
        source="https://example.com/product-photo.jpg",
        from_format="image",
        to_format="categories",
        options={
            "taxonomy": "google-product-categories",
            "max_categories": 5,
            "min_confidence": 0.3,
            "include_hierarchy": True
        }
    )
    

    for category in result.categories:
        print(f"{category.path} ({category.confidence:.2f})")
