pypexels_l5

An open source Python wrapper for the Pexels REST API, supporting Python 2.7 and 3.6+. This is Lumen5's fork of salvoventura's work.

Note

When using this library you still need to abide by Pexels guidelines, which are explained on Pexels' API page

Examples

This example shows how the interaction with the paging functionality of the Pexels API is greatly abstracted and simplified. The code below will iterate through all popular images, and print attributes for each photo in there.

from pypexels import PyPexels
api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'

# instantiate PyPexels object
py_pexels = PyPexels(api_key=api_key)

popular_photos = py_pexels.popular(per_page=30)
while popular_photos.has_next:
    for photo in popular_photos.entries:
        print(photo.id, photo.photographer, photo.url)
    # no need to specify per_page: will take from original object
    popular_photos = popular_photos.get_next_page()
