Integration Examples

n8n Workflow Integration

Perfect for automating watermark removal in your n8n workflows:

// HTTP Request Node Configuration
{
  "method": "POST",
  "url": "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_ACTOR_ID/runs",
  "authentication": "headerAuth",
  "headerParameters": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
  },
  "bodyParameters": {
    "inputType": "url",
    "imageUrl": "{{$json.imageUrl}}",

  }
}

Real Estate Scraper Integration

Automatically clean images from scraped real estate listings:

// After scraping property images
const images = scrapedProperty.images;

for (const image of images) {
  const cleanImage = await apifyClient
    .actor('YOUR_ACTOR_ID')
    .call({
      inputType: 'url',
      imageUrl: image.url,
      returnType: 'url'
    });

  // Use cleanImage.imageUrl in your listing
  property.cleanImages.push(cleanImage.imageUrl);
}

JavaScript/Node.js API Integration

const ApifyClient = require('apify-client');

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const input = {
  inputType: 'url',
  imageUrl: 'https://example.com/watermarked.jpg',
  returnType: 'both'
};

const run = await client.actor('YOUR_ACTOR_ID').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

console.log('Clean image URL:', items[0].imageUrl);
console.log('Base64:', items[0].base64);

Python API Integration

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_API_TOKEN')

run_input = {
    'inputType': 'url',
    'imageUrl': 'https://example.com/watermarked.jpg',
    'returnType': 'both'
}

run = client.actor('YOUR_ACTOR_ID').call(run_input=run_input)

for item in client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).iterate_items():
    print(f"Clean image URL: {item['imageUrl']}")
    print(f"Format: {item['format']}")

Webhook Integration (Make.com, Zapier)

# POST to Apify API
curl -X POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_ACTOR_ID/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

  }'

Batch Processing Multiple Images

const images = [
  'https://example.com/image1.jpg',
  'https://example.com/image2.jpg',
  'https://example.com/image3.jpg'
];

const results = await Promise.all(
  images.map(imageUrl =>
    client.actor('YOUR_ACTOR_ID').call({
      inputType: 'url',
      imageUrl,
      returnType: 'url'
    })
  )
);
