# **Integrating with SearchBlox**

The steps to connect DeepDetect to SearchBlox are provided below:

  1. Create custom collection in SearchBlox.

1001

  1. Follow the steps for setting up an image classifier listed here: [http://www.deepdetect.com/tutorials/imagenet-classifier/](🔗)

  2. DeepDetect and SearchBlox use the same port 8080, so start DeepDetect with ./dede -port 8888 in order to avoid conflict.

  3. Tag and index a URL image in a single call. There are two options: a. indexing categories as keywords:



b. indexing categories and scores into meta:
