similar_image API Stock

Hello everyone,


I'm trying to use the Adobe Stock Image Search API.

 

I'm sending a POST request to /Rest/Media/1/Search/Files with similar_image (multipart file upload) and search_parameters[similar_image]=1.

The request works (status 200, results returned), but the response header always shows x-search-type: uss instead of vss, and the results are always the same, not visually similar files.

 

I also tried with postmann, same results.

 

I also tried with similar_url, same problem.

 

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Do I need special permissions on my API key to enable Visual Similarity Search (VSS)?


Thanks!

Thanks, @Abambo. I am working with the user via the support email group, stockapis@adobe.com

No special permissions needed for this API, but I'm investigating the issue.
