Documentation

Installation

$ npm i --save unsplash-js

Dependencies

This library depends on fetch to make requests to the Unsplash API. For environments that don't support fetch, you'll need to provide a polyfill.

Usage

Creating an instance

To create an instance, simply provide an Object with your applicationId, secret and callbackUrl.

import Unsplash from 'unsplash-js';

const unsplash = new Unsplash({
  applicationId: "{APP_ID}",
  secret: "{APP_SECRET}",
  callbackUrl: "{CALLBACK_URL}"
});

If you already have a bearer token, you can also provide it to the constructor.

const unsplash = new Unsplash({
  applicationId: "{APP_ID}",
  secret: "{APP_SECRET}",
  callbackUrl: "{CALLBACK_URL}",
  bearerToken: "{USER_BEARER_TOKEN}"
});

Credentials can be obtained from Unsplash Developers.

React Native

For use with React Native, import from unsplash-js/native instead.

import Unsplash from 'unsplash-js/native';

Authorization workflow

Generate an authentication url with the scopes your app requires.

const authenticationUrl = unsplash.auth.getAuthenticationUrl([
  "public",
  "read_user",
  "write_user",
  "read_photos",
  "write_photos"
]);

Now that you have an authentication url, you'll want to redirect the user to it.

location.assign(authenticationUrl);

After the user authorizes your app she'll be redirected to your callback url with a code querystring present. Request an access token using that code.

// The OAuth code will be passed to your callback url as a querystring

unsplash.auth.userAuthentication(query.code)
  .then(toJson)
  .then(json => {
    unsplash.auth.setBearerToken(json.access_token);
  });

For more information on the authroization workflow, consult the Unsplash Documentation.

unsplash.users.profile("naoufal")
  .catch(err => {
    // Your flawless error handling code
