How to Connect Unsplash Account to Pipedream and Configure Redirect URI for Simple Queries?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

I’ve not used Pipedream in a while but we have a paid account with several workflows.
Today I am trying to connect my Unsplash account as an integration.

This prompt opens, I enter my access_key and secret_key (see first screenshot) and then get an error from Unsplash on a new window (see second screenshot).
I do not know where I need to configure said Redirect URI.

What would help me would be a workflow that demos a simple Unsplash Proxy. I want to submit simple queries to it ie pipedream.com/myunsplash-proxy?query=palmtrees, call the Unsplash API with those query parameters and then return the response to my app.

Thank you.

, I’ve updated the connection instructions to include a screenshot of where to input the redirect URI - this is set up in the app configuration page near the bottom. You will also need to select all scopes as seen in the screenshot. Can you try reconnecting your account, and let me know if you’re able to connect successfully?

I’ve put in a request for our component developers to create the “Search Photos” action which should enable the functionality that you described. I’m not sure how you intend to submit the simple queries, but as a simple example, you could use the Slack - New Message in Channel trigger in your own channel, and say, submit “Palm Trees”, which would kick off the workflow, pass the “Palm Trees” message to Unsplash, and have it return the data to wherever you need that to go.

Thank you I will try that on Monday. It should be an http proxy which our app can call. Pass through basically. This is to keep the API credentials secret.

I’ve connected it successfully, thank you.
