Smush.it works

smushitI was just playing with Smush.it . It works but perhaps Smushing from IrfanView or the GIMP would be nice. There is an API for you developers:

http://smush.it/ws.php?img=http://smush.it/css/skin/screenshot.png – example smushed response

http://smush.it/ws.php?img=http://smush.it/css/skin/logo.png – image that cannot be further smushed

All responses are in JSON format.

The only required parameter is img. There are two optional parameters:

  1. id – something that will help you identify the response if you send requests in a batch
  2. task – something that will allow you to group together a bunch of images if you want to get the zip file after that. Make that as unique as possible.

Here’s a scenario. You upload two images with the same task identifier:

http://smush.it/ws.php?task=mytask&img=http://example.org/image1.png

http://smush.it/ws.php?task=mytask&img=http://example.org/image2.png

To get the zipped result go to:

http://smush.it/zip.php?task=mytask
