console.log('Success');
return response;
};
var onFailure = function(response) {
console.log('Failure');
return response;
};
var resultList = pixabay.resultList(search, options, onSuccess, onFailure);
// Get a promise for a page of results
var resultsPromise = resultList.next(); // page 1
// Get a promise for the next page of results
var resultsPromise2 = resultList.next(); // page 2

API
pixabay
The high level client wrapper used to set authentication, set default query parameters, and create ResultList
s.
authenticate pixabay.authenticate(apiKey)
authenticate
is used to set your apiKey
, provided to you from Pixabay, on the client. The values are used each time a ResultList
is created.
defaults pixabay.defaults
Use defaults
to set default query parameters for each created ResultList
. Takes an object.
imageResultList pixabay.imageResultList(search, options, onSuccess, onFailure)
Returns a ResultList
instance using the authentication credentials and defaults previously set.
search
: Array of search termsoptions
: Object of key-value pairs to set the query parameters sent with the request to Pixabay. See the documentation for a list of supported query parameters.- Note: Do not set
q
. Use thesearch
argument instead.
- Note: Do not set
onSuccess
: A function called on a successful response.onFailure
: A function called on a failed response.
videoResultList pixabay.videoResultList(search, options, onSuccess, onFailure)
Returns a ResultList
instance using the authentication credentials and defaults previously set.
search
: Array of search termsoptions
: Object of key-value pairs to set the query parameters sent with the request to Pixabay. See the documentation for a list of supported query parameters.- Note: Do not set
q
. Use thesearch
argument instead.
- Note: Do not set
onSuccess
: A function called on a successful response.onFailure
: A function called on a failed response.
Callbacks
The callbacks should take a response
argument, which is the processed response from the request. See below for what the response
object looks like.
ResultList
A generator that makes requests to Pixabay and returns a promise for each.
next ResultList.next()
Returns a promise for the next page of results. Normally begins with the first page, but the initial page can be set by setting the page
key in the options
passed into pixabay.resultList()
.
previous ResultList.previous()
Returns a promose for the previous page of results. Will throw an error when requesting pages numbered <= 1;
Pixabay Results
By default, a response will be in the following form:
{
error: null,
page: 1,
hits: [
