Unsplash API

🔑 Needs a free key

This API is free but asks you to sign up for a key first — it takes about a minute on the official site. Grab the key, then call it with the snippets below.

💻 Copy-paste code

Three ways to call Unsplash API — pick your weapon.

// Unsplash API — no build step, no library. Just fetch.
const res = await fetch("https://unsplash.com/developers");
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);

# Unsplash API with Python requests
import requests

r = requests.get("https://unsplash.com/developers")
print(r.status_code)
print(r.json())

curl "https://unsplash.com/developers"
