I am in the latter camp.

The discussion here is not about sharing or not sharing but to provide an API to be able to utilize the information and build something with it.

Spee.ch will be used as a darkroom file cabinet. Websites will be build on top of it or using the information within it. If EXIF data is available, one could create amazing sites like Flickr and 500px.

The content owners that do not want their EXIF data shared will have their data removed already, this feature is for those of us who don't mind sharing.

Sharing EXIF data is an ongoing debate amongst many Photographers. Some believe their picture information is best to be protected. Some believe sharing their camera settings is how the community learns and grows. I am in the latter camp.

This is interesting @LeRatton . I'm not familiar with exif data. Is this something that can be pulled from the image itself when uploaded? The data could be stored in a table and then retrieved by an API call using the claim name and/or claim id.

Hi, @billbitt yeah. Services like Flick/500px extract the EXIF data from each picture during upload. I was thinking of a feature that will allow me to download all of the EXIF information for my own speech portfolio. But perhaps this could be done from the user side.

Need privacy options during file upload, will explore how we want to implement this.
We will likely hold off on an API endpoint due to limited use cases; will explore as well.
