How to use Clarifai dashboard Smart Image Search in the API?

[emilycestmoi]

Hi, I'd like to use the PHP API to do a Smart Image Search like the one that is available on the Clarifai dashboard (see screenshot). I can't seem to find a way to do this in the PHP API. It does seem to be mentioned in the Python API here: https://github.com/Clarifai/clarifai-python#smart-image-search

I'm going to give the Python API a try but I was hoping I could implement this in PHP.

I wrote a quick python script to use the Smart Image Search feature (https://github.com/Clarifai/clarifai-python#smart-image-search) and I'm getting the same poor results as I do using the PHP Rank Search, so I'm guessing the functionality is identical.... So the question remains, how is it possible to replicate "Smart Image Search" behavior in the Clarifai dashboard? The API is giving poor results in both PHP and Python, the dashboard search is giving good results, I just want to run the search in the dashboard.

You could try out the code samples in this category of the docs. Let me know if you're able to succeed or not.

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't able to debug the issue not having access to the backend. I ended up abandoning Clairfai and rolling my own custom solution using weaviate, after which I was able to debug things--I believe the issue is that Clairfai cannot use webp or png data for search inputs. Once I switched to jpg data it worked. Just leaving this here for anyone else who runs into the issue.
