Fluxiom API

Fluxiom loves your application!

The Fluxiom API allows you to hook into Fluxiom and connect it with other apps.
It can be used for retrieving and uploading assets, querying metadata, and more.
This enables Fluxiom to easily integrate with your workflow and the tools you already use.

Want to link your internal app to Fluxiom? Writing a plugin for your favorite CMS?
If your app needs advanced media management, the Fluxiom API can do it for you!
