1 Unsplash API Examples
Master the Unsplash API with these practical examples. Start with the basics: authenticated GET requests for searching and fetching photos using fetch and async/await. Then, move on to building performant galleries by implementing pagination and infinite scroll via the Intersection Observer API. For full-fledged applications, the complete OAuth 2.0 flow is demonstrated, allowing actions (like liking a photo) to be performed on behalf of the user. This is your toolkit for any project, from a simple photo widget to a complex Unsplash client.
