GlitchService is a backend microservice powering GlitchCraft. GlitchService provides aggregated images consolidated from two different API services for consumption.

GlitchService

GlitchService is a microservice using a Sinatra framework to expose a consilidated endpoint with two images based off a keyword search. The images are drawing from two API's: Pixabay and DeepAI. Pixabay returns an image based of relevant image tags created by users, whereas DeepAI utilizes a Text2Image AI to generate an image from scratch based off any given text. GlitchService works to consilidate these searches to return two images each in a single enpoint.
