API to show remote images

D

Hello!
API integration question.
I want to create a form with hundred of images and the same question for all of them. 
I do not want to upload these images to Typeform storage, but want TF to display it using API to our site. 
what is better approach for this? 

 

BR, 
Denis

Hi @d.voloshko Thanks for stopping by the community! I’m afraid the images have to be hosted in Typeform in order to display them there, as it’s not possible to pull them from a remote location. Though, would you mind sharing more about your use case? I’ll be happy to share this with our developers!

Hi @d.voloshko 
As @Liz mentioned, currently all the images have to be hosted on Typeform side.

Mainly because this helps providing a better respondent experience. The forms load faster, and we can optimize images for different resolutions so it’s fully responsive.
 

We have an API to upload images so this could help you upload a lot of images in bulk.
And also API to modify forms, if you want to attach those images to questions in forms or a theme.

Let us know what you think
