Image Compressor API is a simple HTTP service written in Go that allows you to compress and resize images from a given URL. It supports popular image formats such as JPEG, PNG, and WebP.

• Image compression and resizing based on provided parameters.
• Automatic determination of the image format based on the URL's content type.
• Support for JPEG, PNG, and WebP output formats.
• Option to specify output quality and resolution.
• Efficient caching: If the compressed image already exists, it is served without re-compression.

• Go (Golang) installed on your machine.
• mux,nfnt/resize, andchai2010/webp Go packages.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo.gitcd your-repo

2. Install dependencies:

   go get -u github.com/gorilla/muxgo get -u github.com/nfnt/resizego get -u github.com/chai2010/webp

3. Build and run the project:

   go run*.go -o ./tmp

   Alternatively, for a production build:

   go build -o image-compressor./image-compressor -o ./tmp

To compress an image, make a GET request to the/compressor endpoint with the following parameters:

• url: URL of the image to be compressed.
• output: Desired output format (e.g., "jpeg", "png", "webp").
• quality: Output quality (0-100, applicable for JPEG).
• resolution: Output resolution in the format "widthxheight" (e.g., "1024x720").

Example:

curl"http://localhost:8080/compressor?url=https://example.com/image.jpg&output=webp&quality=80&resolution=1024x720"

• Method: GET
• Parameters:
  • url (required): URL of the image to be compressed.
  • output (optional): Desired output format (e.g., "jpeg", "png", "webp").
  • quality (optional): Output quality (0-100, applicable for JPEG).
  • resolution (optional): Output resolution in the format "widthxheight" (e.g., "1024x720").

Example:

curl"http://localhost:8080/compressor?url=https://example.com/image.jpg&output=webp&quality=80&resolution=1024x720"
