Photobucket

Photobucket is a consumer image and video hosting service founded in 2003 and now operated by Photobucket Inc. of Seattle. It provides cloud photo/video storage, organization, and private group sharing through subscription plans (My Bucket and +Group Buckets, each including 1TB of storage) alongside a free tier. Historically one of the largest image-hosting platforms on the early social web, Photobucket opened a public developer API in 2008, but no current public/documented API surface could be found during enrichment: the developer portal is bot-blocked, the GitHub organization holds only forks and hiring challenges (no official SDK), and the app runs as a single-page application with no published /.well-known/ discovery documents. Added to the API Evangelist network as a portfolio company of Trinity Ventures.

Photobucket is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Photo Sharing, Image Hosting, and Video Sharing.

Photobucket’s developer surface includes signup flow, pricing, support, and 6 more developer resources.
