# Find Where My Image Is Used Online

**Use case:** 

Find where your image is used online with a reverse image search that returns the pages and sites showing it or close matches. Give one image URL and get a list of hosting sites with a similarity verdict for each, so photographers, brands, and designers can see who reuses their pictures.

## Input

```json
{
  "sourceImage": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/Cat_November_2010-1a.jpg",
  "mode": "discover",
  "targetImages": [],
  "comparisonMode": "both",
  "similarityThreshold": 0.85,
  "phashThreshold": 8,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  },
  "maxCandidates": 6,
  "incrementalMonitorMode": false,
  "monitorStateName": "default",
  "customId": ""
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "customId": {
    "label": "Custom ID",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "candidateUrl": {
    "label": "Candidate Image",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "candidateSite": {

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/getascraper/reverse-image-search-monitor.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
