Pexels Overview#

The Pexels API provides access to a well-curated library of high-quality photos and videos, all offered under the Pexels license which allows for a broad range of uses. On Pipedream, this API becomes a treasure trove for automations that require dynamic, attractive visuals. Whether for social media posts, content curation, or website updates, you can fetch and utilize rich media programmatically to enhance your digital projects.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "pexels-new-curated-photo",
  name: "New Curated Photo",
  description: "Emit new event when a new curated photo is added to the Pexels curated collection. [See the documentation](https://www.pexels.com/api/documentation/)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getFunction() {
      return this.pexels.getCuratedPhotos;
    },
    getSummary(item) {
      return `New curated photo with ID: ${item.id}`;
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Pexels	`pexels`	`app`	This component uses the Pexels app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

Pexels uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Pexels account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Pexels APIs in both code and no-code steps.
