## Overview

Imgdox is a Django REST API for user accounts and image editing. Users register or authenticate, upload and browse their images, then request individual or combined transformations and receive media URLs; combined transformations also create an edit record. The sampled views and service code establish these behaviors, but API route definitions and model implementations were not sampled, so their detailed wiring is left unspecified.

Main entry points: [`api/views.py`](https://github.com/0x-fyve/imgdox-api/blob/main/api/views.py) (Image endpoints), [`Imgdox/urls.py`](https://github.com/0x-fyve/imgdox-api/blob/main/Imgdox/urls.py) (Project routes), [`accounts/urls.py`](https://github.com/0x-fyve/imgdox-api/blob/main/accounts/urls.py) (Account routes), [`api/services.py`](https://github.com/0x-fyve/imgdox-api/blob/main/api/services.py) (Image operations)
