Local REST API for Apple Photos — read, search, serve, and delete

Photokit-API – Local REST API for Apple Photos (Python/FastAPI)
by bjwalsh931·Mar 8, 2026·1 point·0 comments
AI Analysis
●●●BangerSolve My ProblemShip It
REST API wraps Apple Photos' locked SQLite—finally lets you search and delete programmatically.
Strengths
- •Solves a genuinely painful macOS gap: Apple Photos has zero official API
- •Direct SQLite + PhotoKit layering beats AppleScript fragility entirely
- •Bearer token + localhost security by default, not an afterthought
Weaknesses
- •macOS-only limits audience sharply vs. cross-platform alternatives
- •Full Disk Access requirement is a friction point for automation workflows
Category
Target Audience
macOS developers, automation enthusiasts, photo library tool builders
