The story behind the TinEye robot

TinEye API accounts… the really-super-easy way
A while back we introduced the TinEye API: a paid search alternative for professional, commercial, or high-volume users. While the free version of TinEye only allows you to do a limited number of searches per day and is for non-commercial use only, the TinEye API allows you to purchase as many searches as you like for commercial or non-commercial use.
