ShortPixel
Your AI agent monitors ShortPixel API credits, purges stored images when needed, and helps you stay on top of your image optimization budget. No more logging into dashboards to check if your quota is running low or clearing out old cached files.




Your AI agent interacts with ShortPixel's API to monitor your account status and manage stored image assets, keeping your optimization pipeline running smoothly.

See how web teams use AI-powered ShortPixel integration to keep their image optimization pipeline healthy without leaving their workflow.
An e-commerce team is about to upload 500 new product images to their site. Before starting, a team member asks the AI Agent to check ShortPixel credits. The agent reports 2,000 credits remaining on their current plan, confirming enough capacity. The upload proceeds with confidence that every image will be compressed and converted to WebP.
After launching a website redesign, the dev team needs to clear all previously cached ShortPixel assets for their domain. A developer asks the AI Agent to purge storage for example.com. The agent triggers the bulk purge, confirms completion, and verifies the storage is clean. New pages load with freshly optimized images from the updated design.
During a holiday sale, image optimization requests spike as new promotional banners and product photos go live. The marketing ops manager asks the AI Agent for a usage update. The agent reports credits are 80% consumed with two weeks left in the billing cycle. The team upgrades their plan proactively, avoiding any interruption to image compression.

FAQs
The agent calls ShortPixel's API Status endpoint using your API key. It returns your current credit balance, total credits allocated, and account type. You get an instant snapshot of your optimization capacity without logging into the ShortPixel dashboard.
The agent calls the Bulk Purge Storage endpoint with your domain name. ShortPixel removes all optimized image files stored on their servers for that domain. The next time those images are requested, ShortPixel re-optimizes them from the original source.
No. Tars only communicates with ShortPixel's API to check status and trigger actions. Your images, optimization data, and CDN assets remain entirely within ShortPixel's infrastructure. Nothing is cached or stored on Tars servers.
The current integration focuses on account management: checking credits and purging stored assets. Actual image compression happens through ShortPixel's Reducer API or WordPress plugin. The agent ensures your account is ready and healthy for those optimization processes.
Log into your ShortPixel account and navigate to your dashboard. Your API key is displayed on the main page after registration. Copy it and paste it into the Tars dashboard when connecting the ShortPixel tool.
You can ask the agent at any time for a credit check. While automated alerts require a scheduled workflow, the agent always provides real-time credit data when you ask. Teams often set reminders to query credit status before major content uploads.
No. Once the agent triggers a bulk purge for a domain, all stored optimized files are permanently removed from ShortPixel's servers. However, your original images remain on your own hosting. ShortPixel will re-optimize them on the next request.
Yes. ShortPixel's API supports all three compression levels plus WebP and AVIF format conversion. While the Tars integration focuses on credit monitoring and storage management, the agent can confirm your account is ready before you trigger batch optimizations through ShortPixel's compression endpoints.
