The paper describes the proton imaging (PI) technique for the mathematical simulation of a proton beam passing through various objects and magnetic optics in order to simulate the proton images of these objects. The software implementation of this technique is required for managing the available and future proton radiography devices and consists of two modules for the simulation using the beam summation and Monte Carlo methods. The last version of the software implementation of the PI technique has been supplemented with the API subsystem for computer-based job preparation and running. The API subsystem provides the computer-based parameter setting, viewing, editing, and checking out, an ability of re-interpolating the grid values of quantities and running jobs on the simulation of proton images using the beam summation and Monte Carlo methods. API provides the user´s web-interface for entering and editing simulation parameters via a web-browser. The paper briefly describes the code validation results and gives some examples of the simulated proton images. Keywords: simulation of proton images, Geant4, web-interface, proton passage through a substance.
