How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerInbound webhook with image URLHTTP webhook
  • LogicValidate payload is a fetchable image
  • ActionGenerate alt-text and caption via Hugging FaceHugging FaceHugging Face
  • ActionArchive image + metadata JSON to R2CloudflareCloudflare R2
  • OutputReturn generated text and R2 keys in responseHTTP webhook

What it does

Provides a synchronous HTTP endpoint your own apps can call with an image URL. It fetches the image, generates both short alt-text and a longer caption from a Hugging Face vision model, stores the original and a JSON metadata sidecar in Cloudflare R2, and returns the generated text and the R2 keys to the caller.

When to use it

You want captioning as a reusable internal service — a CMS upload hook, an internal tool, or a batch script can POST an image and get accessibility text back immediately, with a durable archived copy for audit.

How it works

  1. 1An inbound webhook receives a request containing the image URL.
  2. 2Validate the payload and reject anything that isn't a fetchable image.
  3. 3Call the Hugging Face image-to-text model twice (or with a prompt) to produce short alt-text and a descriptive caption.
  4. 4Store the source image and a JSON metadata file in R2 under a content-addressed key.
  5. 5Return the alt-text, caption, and R2 object keys in the webhook response.
