Frequently asked questions
What is Pixabay?
Pixabay provides a REST API for searching images and videos, returning JSON and requiring an API key.
What usage rules matter when building with Pixabay?
The API documentation requires caching requests for 24 hours and disallows systematic mass downloads. It also distinguishes temporary display of image search results from permanent hotlinking. Review its current usage and content-license conditions for your application.
Provider sourceWhy does Pixabay return fewer accessible images than total matches?
The total field counts matches, while totalHits reports how many are accessible through the API. They can differ. Build pagination around accessible results and the documented query limits rather than treating total as a promise that every image can be retrieved.
