Not sure where I ask, I figure here might be good.

I want a digital picture frame that has some sort of API to update. I’m not picky on what as long as I can add and remove content from code. Like an actual Dropbox App integration would be fine too, where whatever files I put in a folder automatically get added to the rotation. Most of them I’ve seen are along the lines of “login to this terrible web site to manage pictures” or “pull out SD card or plug computer to frame to update”.

I don’t even mind hosting, like if I give a URL that returns a list of other images to rotate through or something. Fine, that works.

I am aware I could do this with a Pi and any LCD, but I would like a single hardware unit that someone else makes pretty.

    A picture frame you have to rotate every few hours to avoid burn in is a pretty garbage solution imo. They’re supposed to be left alone for long periods.

      I think they meant to rotate through different pictures, not to physically walk up and rotate the ipad every few hours.

      Which is kind of the point of a digital picture frame, cause… why use an electronic device to display a single static picture. Just go to a store and get your picture professionally printed if you only want one.
