Title: istock esp
Post by: 50% on April 19, 2020, 11:52
As Stocksubmitter now supports istock esp is it also possible to upload to Getty esp? It is general the same upload process and if possible how can I add a Getty esp account? I would like to upload to Getty as well to iStock depending on the foto series but I would love to use Stocksubmitter for that! thanks in advance!

It doesn't seem possible for me even with istock I get this message:
error (API key or API secret is not specified in settings. ID
I have no idea where and how to obtain an API key!

It's almost impossible for an iStock contributor to be accepted to submit directly to Getty nowadays. You'd need to apply to Getty directly, and I've never read of an iStocker being accepted there in the past 2 or 3 years. Of course, it could be that those who were accepted are sworn to secrecy, so I only read of rejections.

If you are iStock exclusive, all your editorial files and a selection of your other files will be mirrored on Getty. Not so if indie. However, in that case you only get 20% of all sales rather than your exclusive iS percentage.

Does anyone know where I can find Franky?

I have some problems with DM and emailed him. It's been about a month, he hasn't replied yet.

My initial problem was I could not make any submissions.

Then when I tried to add my iStockphoto login in my DM, it worked. But my general ESP authentication failed. I did not make any changes to the user ID and password because they are remembered by the system.

It actually should work for Getty accounts as well.

Hi thanks I did start with Getty before iStock was even invented so I can submit directly to Getty which I didn't for a long time but since Corona and serious loss of assignments I have more time on my side I do have access via esp to Getty as well as iStock

Unfortunately, we cannot provide those keys any longer.
However, you could try asking in StockSubmitter telegram group: https://t.me/StockSubmitter - I heard someone has them there.
It's in Russian, but you can ask in English, it's fine.
