  "summary": "AI data company LXT, which agreed to buy the German crowd platform clickworker in December 2024 and now issues clickworker's North American terms. Its crowd photographs and films to a brief: custom image and video datasets (people, pets, products, scenes, documents) shot at home, at a nearby location with the clickworker smartphone app, or in a studio; and store checks, where workers visit listed shops, photograph shelves and displays with geo data and fill in checklists. Projects are run by LXT's managed service. The clickworker Marketplace API v2 (HTTP Basic auth, access through support) can create tasks, track them, fetch results and accept or reject them; its standard products are surveys, sentiment and iFrame tasks, and photo work is set up as a custom product.",
