Lykdat

What Lykdat is

Lykdat is a fashion search engine for finding and comparing products sold across web stores. Shoppers can search with text, an image, or a social media post, then compare prices for visually similar fashion items. Its visual AI is designed to help people discover products even when they do not have the words to describe what they are looking for.

Lykdat also provides image-search tools for fashion businesses. Brands can add image search to ecommerce websites and offer smart recommendations and styling options. Its API documentation describes searching images within a product catalog as well as global image search across Lykdat’s catalogs. The Deep Tagging endpoint returns fashion tags, labels, and colors relevant to an image, while Item Detection identifies fashion item nouns such as pants, shorts, skirts, and tops. A JavaScript SDK includes interfaces for image search and back-in-stock alerts.

For Deep Tagging, accepted image formats are JPEG, PNG, and WebP, with uploaded files limited to 3 MB. The Image Transcode endpoint is in beta and available only to selected users. Lykdat was founded in 2019 and offers web and API access. Its Sign Up plan costs $3.99 a month.
