Pixlee

description: Pixlee (Pixlee TurnTo, now part of Emplifi) is a visual and social user-generated content (UGC) marketing platform
  that helps brands collect, curate, moderate, and display customer photos and videos across their website, mobile apps, and
  email. The Pixlee Content API (v2) gives brands programmatic access to their approved media in albums with rich filtering
  and sorting, lets them ingest new content from a URL or an uploaded file, and add or update commerce products that media
  can be tagged with. Authentication is via an account API key passed as a query parameter, with HMAC-SHA1 request signing
  required for all writes. Pixlee also ships embeddable JavaScript display widgets, email display blocks, and native iOS/Android
  UI SDKs. Originally an a16z-backed startup, Pixlee was acquired by Emplifi.
