TinEye

A reverse image search engine: give it a picture or image URL and it lists where that image, or edited copies of it, appears online.

Sorting matches by oldest first can show where a viral photo first appeared and how it was cropped or edited along the way.

For your agent

  • Use the paid REST API (https://api.tineye.com/rest/, prepaid search bundles, e.g. 5,000 searches for $200) via the official MIT-licensed Python client pytineye (pip install pytineye, github.com/TinEye/pytineye), which ships a sandbox key for testing; no self-hosted version; the website is free for non-commercial use only and does not save searched images.
  • Use the website only for non-commercial searches; commercial products must use the paid API
  • Keep the API key server-side; searches are billed from prepaid bundles

Paste into your agent: Read https://agentgid.com/resources/tineye/agent.md before using TinEye.

What you can build

  • A newsroom helper that checks where a submitted photo appeared before publishing it (paid API)
  • A brand-monitoring job that searches your own product images weekly to find unlicensed copies
  • A prototype built against the sandbox key before buying a search bundle
