Photography Exposure API

healthy 3,802 Subscribers

Photographic exposure maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the exposure-value, equivalent-exposure and Sunny-16 numbers a photographer, camera-app developer or educator works the exposure triangle with. The exposure-value endpoint gives EV = log₂(aperture² ÷ shutter) and the ISO-100-normalised EV100 (subtracting log₂(ISO/100)) — every one-EV step is a stop, a doubling or halving of light — so bright sun reads about EV 15 and a typical interior EV 6–8, and equal-EV settings give the same exposure. The equivalent endpoint applies the reciprocity at the heart of the triangle: exposure ∝ shutter × ISO ÷ f-number², so when you close the aperture or drop the ISO it returns the new shutter that keeps the brightness constant — going from f/2.8 to f/5.6 needs four times the shutter time. The sunny16 endpoint gives the classic meterless rule: in bright sun shoot f/16 at about 1/ISO (1/125 s at ISO 100), opening up in stops for softer light — slight overcast f/11, overcast f/8, heavy overcast f/5.6, open shade f/4, and f/22 on snow or sand — solving the shutter for your chosen ISO and aperture. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for camera and photography apps, exposure-calculator and teaching tools, and metering and automation utilities. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. 3 compute endpoints. For depth of field and hyperfocal distance use a photography (optics) API.

Darkroom API

Analog darkroom and film maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the three corrections that bite when you develop film and make prints by hand. The reciprocity endpoint corrects long exposures for reciprocity failure, where film loses sensitivity past about a second: corrected time = metered^p (Schwarzschild p ≈ 1.3 for many films, settable per datasheet), so a metered 10-second exposure really wants about 20 seconds, a full stop more, while anything under the threshold is left untouched. The printexposure endpoint adjusts enlarger exposure when you change print size — light spreads as you raise the head, so exposure is proportional to (magnification + 1)², where magnification is print size ÷ negative size: going from 2× to 4× magnification turns a 10-second exposure into 27.8 seconds, about 1.5 stops, ready for f-stop printing. The pushpull endpoint scales development time for pushing or pulling film by N stops — time = base × factor^stops, roughly +40 % per stop pushed — turning a 7-minute base into 13.7 minutes at +2 stops, or 5 minutes pulled a stop. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for film-photography and darkroom apps, light-meter and timer companions, lab and workshop tools, and analog-photography sites. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints. For digital depth-of-field use a photography API; for lab molarity use a dilution API.

Photography Calculator API

Camera and optics maths as an API. The depth-of-field endpoint computes the near and far limits of sharp focus, the total depth of field and the hyperfocal distance from a focal length, aperture and focus distance, using the circle of confusion for your sensor format — full-frame, APS-C, Micro Four Thirds, 1-inch, medium format, Super 35 and more, or your own value. The field-of-view endpoint gives the horizontal, vertical and diagonal angle of view for a focal length on a given sensor, plus the crop factor and the 35 mm-equivalent focal length. The exposure endpoint computes the exposure value (EV) from aperture, shutter speed and ISO, and can also solve for the shutter speed or aperture that hits a target EV. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for photography and videography apps, camera and lens tools, focus-stacking and landscape planning, and teaching exposure and optics. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 4 endpoints. This computes camera optics; for reading EXIF metadata from photo files use an EXIF API.

EXIF API

Extract the hidden metadata baked into a photo. Pass an image URL (we fetch it) or a base64 image and get back its EXIF, GPS, IPTC and XMP data: the camera make and model, lens, software, the capture date/time, full exposure settings (shutter speed, aperture / f-number, ISO, focal length, flash, metering and white balance), orientation, colour space and resolution, plus the GPS location (latitude, longitude, altitude) with a ready Google Maps link — and the complete raw tag map. A dedicated /v1/gps endpoint returns just the geotag. Supports JPEG, TIFF, HEIC and PNG. Parsing runs locally (no third-party service) and nothing is stored. Live. 3 endpoints. Built for photo-management apps, geotagging, digital forensics, copyright/credit checks and image pipelines. Distinct from a basic image-info or resize service. No upstream key.

Battery Pack API

Battery-pack design maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the voltage, capacity, energy, current and charge-time numbers an EV, e-bike, solar or robotics pack builder lays out a battery with. The configuration endpoint turns a series-parallel cell layout into the pack: cells in series add their voltages (the series count sets the pack voltage) and cells in parallel add their amp-hours (the parallel count sets the capacity), with the energy in watt-hours = voltage × capacity — a 13S4P pack of 3.6 V / 3.5 Ah cells is 46.8 V, 14 Ah and about 655 Wh from 52 cells, and it also reports the full-charge voltage (series × 4.2 V for Li-ion) to size the charger and BMS. The c-rate endpoint relates current to capacity both ways — give a C-rate to get the current, or a current to get the C-rate — because 1C draws or charges the whole capacity in an hour, so a 14 Ah pack at 2C is 28 A, and it returns the power if you pass the pack voltage. The charge-time endpoint gives the time to charge between two states of charge from the charge current. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for EV and e-bike builders, solar and off-grid storage tools, robotics and drone packs, and battery-engineering apps. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Pack-design estimates — real cells taper on charge and sag under load. 3 compute endpoints. For runtime under a load use a battery API; for EV charging an EV-charging API.
