PhotoRobot Cloud API

Also known as Cloud API, Cloud API V2, API V2. Category: Software

The PhotoRobot Cloud API is the programming interface of PhotoRobot Cloud. It lets other systems create product items, automate capture workflows and deliver processed images through scalable hosting and feeds.

How PhotoRobot uses it

Cloud API V2 introduced unified responses, standardised payloads and defined error codes under /api/v2/; existing authentication keys continue to work. PhotoRobot announced that V1 is deprecated and would be shut down on 30 September 2026. Documentation is on the PhotoRobot Developer Portal (developer.photorobot.com). A separate Control Unit API controls only robot movements and is available on request; PhotoRobot recommends the Cloud API for controlling the whole studio.
