Pixabay Client for Node.js

Client library for querying Pixabay API featuring strict parameter validation and automatic URL encoding.

Usage

To install:

npm install node-pixabayclient

The client library is capable of supporting any endpoint under the same API key by accepting a direct apiUrl option as a constructor "argument" as demonstrated below (see also demo.js).

For a complete list of API endpoints, please see https://pixabay.com/api/docs/.

const PixabayApi = require('node-pixabayclient');
const PixabayPhotos = new PixabayApi({ apiUrl: "https://pixabay.com/api/" });

var params = {
  key: "YOUR-PIXABAY_API_KEY_HERE",
  q: "yellow flowers", // automatically URL-encoded
  image_type: "photo",
};

PixabayPhotos.query(params, function(errors, res, req) {
  if (errors) {
    console.log('One or more errors were encountered:');
    console.log('- ' + errors.join('\n- '));
    return;
  }

  console.log('Photos request:');
