How can we use Unsplash API ?
Hello, here I am with my 3rd article of the month. In this article, I will talk about how to use the Unsplash API, a popular website for high-quality images.
Unsplash provides an API that allows developers to access their vast collection of freely-usable images programmatically. With the Unsplash API, you can integrate their image library into your applications, websites, or projects seamlessly.
To start using the Unsplash API, you’ll need to sign up for an account on the Unsplash Developer portal. Once registered, you can create an application and obtain an API key, which will be used to authenticate your API requests.
First, go to the address https://unsplash.com/developers and register by providing your personal information.Click on the “New Application” button and proceed by accepting the necessary terms and conditions.In the next step, write the name and description of your application.
In the demo version, you have a limit of 50 requests per hour. If you want to have a limit of 5000 requests per hour at the Production level, you will need to review the rules and wait for 5 business days for approval.
That’s great! Now that you have created your application and obtained your API keys, you are ready to start using the Unsplash API. Make sure to keep your API keys secure and follow best practices for handling sensitive information.
To use the Unsplash API in your application, you will need to include the API key in your API requests. The API key serves as a way to authenticate and identify your application.
You can make API requests using various programming languages and frameworks. Typically, you will construct an HTTP request to the appropriate Unsplash API endpoint, including your API key as a parameter or in the request headers.
I have shared the code block that fetches random fox images using the Fetch API above.
