Image Sources

ImageBoss can connect with your images anywhere.

Akamai Object Storage

ImageBoss can connect to Akamai Object Storage through its S3-compatible endpoint.

Quick checklist

  • Akamai account with Object Storage enabled
  • Bucket with your source images
  • S3-compatible Access Key + Secret Key
  • S3-compatible endpoint URL (required)

Step 1: Get your bucket and endpoint details

  1. Open your Akamai control center and go to Object Storage.
  2. Identify the bucket that contains your images.
  3. Copy the S3-compatible endpoint URL for that bucket/region.

Step 2: Generate read-only credentials

  1. Create or choose API credentials that can read objects from your bucket.
  2. Save Access Key and Secret Key.
  3. Restrict permissions to read/list only when possible.

For endpoint and URL patterns, refer to Access buckets and files through URLs and Getting started with Object Storage.

Step 3: Add the source in ImageBoss

  1. Go to Dashboard → Sources → Add Source.
  2. Select Akamai Object Storage.
  3. Fill the fields below and save.
  • Access Key: your Akamai access key
  • Secret Key: your Akamai secret key
  • Bucket Name: your object storage bucket
  • Endpoint: required S3-compatible endpoint URL
  • Region (optional): defaults to us-east-1 if empty
  • Base Path (optional): prefix when images are under a folder

Important behavior

For Akamai, endpoint is required. ImageBoss will not derive it automatically.

Step 4: Validate your source

After saving, test with an existing image path:

Troubleshooting

  • Verify endpoint is the exact S3-compatible URL from Akamai
  • Confirm Access Key and Secret Key are active and scoped to the target bucket
  • Check Bucket Name and object path for typos/case mismatches
  • If region is set manually, confirm it matches your Akamai configuration
