# Chute

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/chute/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

Chute was a visual marketing automation platform (getchute.com) that helped brands discover, collect, rights-manage and publish consumer and user-generated visual content. Its product line spanned visual insights, digital asset management and content publishing, and it exposed a public REST API documented on Apiary (docs.chute.apiary.io) with first-party Ruby and Node.js client libraries. The company is defunct: the canonical domain no longer serves a site, the API and developer hosts do not resolve, the Apiary documentation returns 502, and the github.com/chute organization has been deleted. Only the abandoned package-registry entries survive. Retained in the API Evangelist network as a historical record of a former API provider.
