To be honest i never use MicrostockSubmitter before (any program), so maybe im wrong in the way it works.

I just want to know if the program send images filling keywords and titles without open explorer (send it programmatically) or it just open somekind of explorer and interacts with it.

If the case is the first one, i also want to know how to send images programmatically because i have some programation background and im so interested in it.

Thank you for your help 

Hi
I'm coding a little bit. I use python programming with some specifics libraries that send pictures to almost all agencies via ftp simultaneously.
Python is free, easy to learn, lot of documentation and many community members.
If you have time, learn it.

Dear Thomas

Thank you so much for your reply, im actually interested in know if it is posible programmatically, in one hand, to check full list of images uploaded to the server (those ones who are ready to add metadata and send), currently you can only see first or last 40 images by using browser and when you upload vectors most of them was improperly uploaded as raw images (here my biggest interest in seeing the complete list).

And, in the other hand; to send metadata and images without using browser (programmatically).

Thank you.

I wrote a couple of reviews and descriptions of it. I use it all the time - saves me a lot of time and effort.

There is a Dropbox sync service available at dropstock.io that I really rate - I only need to upload once to Dropbox and then it gets synced through FTP and their content delivery network so it�s very efficient once you have multiple agencies set up.

It is free for now.

It still isn't clear. Are you saying that you have uploaded 10 images, say to the Shutterstock website and you need some program to log into Shutterstock and add in metadata to the images that are already on their site and submit the images for review?

If that is the question, then Stock Submitter can do all that, although it starts at the upload process itself rather than expecting you to have done that via some other system or approach.

I find the biggest advantage of Stock Submitter is that step in the process - all the other free systems can be set up to upload images to multiple sites. As far as I know, Stock Submitter is the only one that takes that really important step of logging onto each site in turn and entering the specific information that each site requires to accept the image as a submission. For iStock and Alamy, that is quite complex, and the program does it without any need for manual involvement. As you can tell, I'm definitely sold on this system!

StockSubmitter doesn't use a browser (well, it does but only to authenticate on those websites that require you to pass a captcha test to log in).
The whole submission process is done by sending requests to the agencies servers and parsing their responses, no browser is involved here.

So, how to send request to agencies without using browser? how to do it programmatically?

It sounds like you are not asking about Stock Submitter, but how to develop your own programs for doing something similar? Perhaps someone will be able to answer that, but I doubt if the developer of Stock Submitter would be willing to share how he developed his application?

Perhaps we are still missing the point of the question?

Yes Steve, well i have some programation background and as i say before, i dont want to whole source code, but just want to know the method used to send it programmatically, if somebody with programing background can tell me i would be grateful.

Regards.

I developed my own Java program for automatic keywording and submiting images to stock agencies.

For keywording I used shutterstock site and JSoup HTTP requests for retrieving images and then choosing image from which you take the keywords. Basically I made my own browser with search field which only retrieves the thumbnails.

For sending them to agencies - you can use FTP service, very easy to program and all the agencies have FTP server.

You need to manually send HTTP requests and parse answers like browser would do, imitating the user actions.
You need to implement that individually for every agency.

Thank you for your answer Niakris, i will research about it
