External metadata service support in Digikam?

[Andrey Goreev]

I second on this one.
Large corporations e.g. Google and Microsoft have similar services embedded
in their solutions e.g. Ms OneDrive and Google Photos but none of them let
you download your data because they want you to be hooked to their
services. If digiKam was capable of getting keywords from a server via API
and write them to database/metadata/sidecars using Exiv2 that would be a
great feature.

Best regards,
