// Set default query parameters to make with every request
pixabay.defaults = {safesearch: true};
 
// Get a ResultList
var search = ['dogs', 'puppies'];
var options = {editors_choice: true};
var onSuccess = function(response) {
  console.log('Success');
  return response;
};
var onFailure = function(response) {
  console.log('Failure');
  return response;
};
 
var resultList = pixabay.resultList(search, options, onSuccess, onFailure);
 
// Get a promise for a page of results
var resultsPromise = resultList.next(); // page 1
 
// Get a promise for the next page of results
var resultsPromise2 = resultList.next(); // page 2
 
// Get the previous page of results
var resultPromise3 = resultList.previous(); // cached promise for page 1

API

pixabay

The high level client wrapper used to set authentication, set default query parameters, and create ResultLists.

authenticate pixabay.authenticate(apiKey)

authenticate is used to set your apiKey, provided to you from Pixabay, on the client. The values are used each time a ResultList is created.

defaults pixabay.defaults

Use defaults to set default query parameters for each created ResultList. Takes an object.

imageResultList pixabay.imageResultList(search, options, onSuccess, onFailure)

Returns a ResultList instance using the authentication credentials and defaults previously set.

• search: Array of search terms
• options: Object of key-value pairs to set the query parameters sent with the request to Pixabay. See the documentation for a list of supported query parameters.
  • Note: Do not set q. Use the search argument instead.
• onSuccess: A function called on a successful response.
• onFailure: A function called on a failed response.

videoResultList pixabay.videoResultList(search, options, onSuccess, onFailure)

Returns a ResultList instance using the authentication credentials and defaults previously set.

• search: Array of search terms
• options: Object of key-value pairs to set the query parameters sent with the request to Pixabay. See the documentation for a list of supported query parameters.
  • Note: Do not set q. Use the search argument instead.
• onSuccess: A function called on a successful response.
• onFailure: A function called on a failed response.

Callbacks

The callbacks should take a response argument, which is the processed response from the request. See below for what the response object looks like.

ResultList

A generator that makes requests to Pixabay and returns a promise for each.

next ResultList.next()

Returns a promise for the next page of results. Normally begins with the first page, but the initial page can be set by setting the page key in the options passed into pixabay.resultList().

previous ResultList.previous()

Returns a promose for the previous page of results. Will throw an error when requesting pages numbered <= 1;

Pixabay Results

By default, a response will be in the following form:

{
    error: null,
    page: 1,
    hits: [

}

The error and page keys are set by Pixabayjs for convenience. When an error occurs, error will be set to the error's text, page will contain the requested page, totalHits and totalPages will be null, and hits will be an empty array.
