Pixc

aid: pixc
name: Pixc
description: Pixc is an ecommerce enablement company that builds Shopify apps automating the visual busywork of running an
  online store — product photo resizing and AI framing, background removal and retouching, AI-generated alt text for SEO,
  AI lifestyle imagery, and automated visual merchandising of collections. Founded in 2014 and backed by 500 Global, Pixc
  also runs a professional bulk product photo-editing service billed in prepaid image credits, and serves 32,000+ Shopify
  merchants. Pixc publishes a public REST API — the Pixc Public API at https://dashboard.pixc.com/v1 — that lets a store or
  marketplace automate the same photo optimization programmatically — define a reusable template encoding the photo standard,
  submit batches of image URLs as orders, register webhooks for completion, and collect the optimized results as image URLs
  or packaged downloads.

    The `test: true` header exercises any operation without spending credits, which is the only free path.'

  description: 'REST API for automated product-photo optimization. Three resources — templates (the reusable photo standard:
    background, border, shadow, output file types and aspect sizes), orders (a batch of submitted image URLs processed against
    one template), and webhooks (order_created, order_status_updated, download_generated) — across sixteen operations. Results
    are read back as per-image records with one rendered output per template type/size combination, or as packaged downloads.
    Authentication is a bearer Access Token issued from the Pixc Dashboard; the published spec additionally declares an OAuth
    2.0 implicit flow with eleven granular scopes. Every operation accepts a `test: true` header that validates the request
    without modifying the account or spending image credits. Published by Pixc as Swagger 2.0 at https://dashboard.pixc.com/v1/schema.'

x-pointers-deliberately-omitted:
- type: WellKnown
  reason: well-known/pixc-well-known.yml records a probe in which every /.well-known/ path returned 404 on dashboard.pixc.com
    and 403 on pixc.com. The artifact documents an absence; a pointer would assert Pixc serves the surface.
- type: MCPServer
  reason: mcp/pixc-mcp.yml is a derived candidate tool list with deployment.mode = none. Pixc ships no hosted or local MCP
    server, so a pointer would credit an agent surface that does not exist.
- type: AgentCard
  reason: /.well-known/agent-card.json and /.well-known/agent.json miss on every host. Per the pipeline, nothing was written
    to a2a/.
- type: Idempotency
  reason: No idempotency header, parameter or retry-safety contract exists in the published spec or docs. See conventions/pixc-conventions.yml.
- type: StatusPage
  reason: status.pixc.com returns HTTP 200 but the body is the two-byte string "OK" from the pixc.com DNS wildcard, not a
    status page. pixc.com/status is 404.
- type: Deprecation
  reason: No deprecation policy, Sunset header support or notice period is published.
- type: Security
  reason: probe-security-programs.py found no security.txt, no disclosure page and no bug bounty; pixc.com/security returns
    404.
- type: Compliance
  reason: No trust centre and no named certification (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI, HIPAA, GDPR) is published on a reachable page;
    /trust and /compliance both 404.
- type: ChangeLog
  reason: No changelog, release-notes page or GitHub release exists. pixc.com/changelog is 404 and the sitemap lists no such
    page.
- type: AsyncAPI
  reason: Pixc documents webhooks but publishes no AsyncAPI document; Webhooks is pointed at instead and no AsyncAPI was authored
    on Pixc's behalf.
