Accounts created before Nov. 1st, 2021

Accounts created before November 1, 2021 have to include /v7/ in the path, like shown below.

//token.cloudimg.io/v7/original_image_url?operations&filters

Accounts created on or after November 1, 2021 do not require /v7/ and documentation have been updated accordingly.
To verify the type of configuration on your Cloudimage account, log in to your Cloudimage admin panel and look at the syntax provided on the Welcome page.

[NOTE] If you are an existing Cloudimage customer and wish to be able to remove the v7 from your URL syntax, please contact our support.

Invalidation API

The Invalidation API is a REST API to invalidate images from the CDN and Cloudimage resizing servers.

Step 1 - get your API key

Your API key is available in the Cloudimage admin console, under Invalidation:

Step 2 - call the Invalidation REST API

Headers:

X-Client-Key: your_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

Body:

The body of the request must contain the invalidation url in the form /_alias_/path/image1.jpg or /origin_image_url/image2.jpg.

Sample URL: https://doc.cloudimg.io/sample.li/boat.jpg?width=300

To invalidate all the resizes of this image, use: /sample.li/boat.jpg or v7/sample.li/boat.jpg.

Invalidate multiple images with all their resizes

{
  "scope": "original",
  "urls": ["/sample.li/birds.jpg",
            "/sample.li/boat.jpg", ...
  ]
}

Invalidate URLs with wildcards

{
  "scope": "original",
  "urls": ["/sample.li/avatars/*",
            "/sample.li/profile_pics/*", ...
  ]
}

The example above will invalidate all images (and their resizes) starting with either /sample.li/avatars/ or /sample.li/profile_pics/.

Please note that original flushes require the entire log database to be searched and it can take up to 60 seconds.

Invalidate all your images (this will trigger a re-download of all images from your origin)

{
  "scope": "all"
}

Flushing all images will result in Cloudimage downloading all your images from your origin image storage again. This will result in slower image loading times for the first times the images are downloaded. Contact us if you have more than 1 TB of monthly CDN traffic or 1 TB of storage.

You can use our sample image showing the time it is resized the first time:

https://doc.cloudimg.io/sample.li/now.php?width=500

Click on 'Send' to call the Invalidation API and reload the image above (invalidation takes about 30 seconds to complete). You should see the new time. You might need to disable your browser's local cache to see the new image immediately.
