  "raw_analysis": "Getty Images is a major stock photography platform offering a developer API. It provides access to millions of images, videos, and metadata. The API is designed for developers building applications that need to search, retrieve, and license imagery. Authentication requires an API key and supports OAuth2 for enterprise or user-specific actions. The platform is mature and widely used in media, advertising, and web publishing. Integrations are primarily via REST API, with SDKs available for multiple languages. Pricing is freemium, with free tier for testing and paid plans for commercial use, including pay-per-image or subscriptions. Rate limits are likely exist but not published. Overall, it's a robust API for imagery-related applications."
