Unsplash Overview#

The Unsplash API provides programmatic access to a vast library of high-quality, royalty-free images. This enables developers to search for and retrieve photos based on keywords, collections, or featured content. With Pipedream's integration, you can automate tasks like updating social media banners, populating website content with dynamic images, or even analyzing photo metadata for insights. By leveraging Unsplash's API within Pipedream, you can create workflows that trigger on various events, process image data, and interact with countless other apps available on the platform, streamlining your digital asset management and content creation processes.

Action Authentication#

Unsplash uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Unsplash account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Unsplash and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Unsplash API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
