  • The image needs to be local to the machine which does the processing. You could pay them to do the processing for you so you don't need to download them. – Peter Lawrey Feb 24 '16 at 12:43

In order to create classifiers with Visual Recognition, you do not need to download the images locally; you only need to call the endpoint with the positive and negative examples. I suggest writing a script to gather the image data, zip it up, and then call the classifier creation endpoint from a server in the cloud.

Currently the functionality you are requesting is not possible today.

I've added it to our backlog, as your request makes complete sense!
