Pixabay Client for Node.js

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

Usage

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/.

Photos API (https://pixabay.com/api/)

const PixabayApi = require('./path/to/PixabayApi');
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:');
  console.log(req);

  console.log('Photos API response:');
  console.log(res);
});

Videos API (https://pixabay.com/api/videos/)

const PixabayApi = require('./path/to/PixabayApi');
const PixabayVideos = new PixabayApi({ apiUrl: "https://pixabay.com/api/videos/" });

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

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