BestAIForOverview / Description
Intelligence API is an AI search and metadata API from Thisispaper that gives programmatic access to a curated archive of 2,500+ architecture, design, photography, and art projects. Built on roughly fifteen years of editorial curation, it exposes text search, visual and semantic similarity matching, browse and random discovery, and full project metadata tagged by material, light, color, mood, composition, and subject. It works two ways: as a REST API for direct HTTP calls, or as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server you can add to AI clients like Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or Gemini in one line. Each result includes provenance and citation URLs, so agents can trace a reference back to its source. The free tier gives 200 calls per month with no signup required to try, capped at three keys per email address. Paid tiers add commercial use: API Studio is €29/month for 5,000 calls, and API Pro is €99/month for 25,000 calls with priority support. Intelligence API is aimed at designers, architects, researchers, and AI developers who need a curated, taste-tagged reference source rather than a general web-scraped image dataset.
