Work with Wix Media

The SDK Media API contains functionality for working with Wix Media resources.

Note: This API isn't necessary when developing Wix sites or when coding in Blocks.

Overview

The SDK Media API enables you to get absolute URLs for Wix Media resources, including scaled and cropped images.

With the SDK Media API, you can:

  • Get an absolute URL for a Wix Media resource.
  • Scale a Wix Media image to fit specified dimensions.
  • Scale a Wix Media image to fill specified dimensions.
  • Crop a Wix Media image.

Wix APIs identify Wix Media resources using internal identifiers with the following structure:

Copy

For example, a product or cart item object may refer to its associated image with an identifier such as "wix:image://v1/3c76e2_c5331f937348492a97df87b...".

You can use the SDK Media API to obtain an absolute URL for such an image, so you can access and manipulate it in your own code. You can obtain a URL for the original image, or for a scaled or cropped version of the image.

Example

This example shows how to use getImageUrl() to obtain an absolute URL from the Wix Media identifier for an image provided by the getCurrentCart() method.
