README

• Support for the complete Pixabay API
• Both image and video
• Define search parameters using type-strict fluent setters
• Utility class for downloading the results
• No 3rd party libraries used

Disclaimer

During development there were some minor changes in the API: they removed "favorites" count from the response. However, this broke our code and made v1.x.x unusable.

BE ADVISED: Any changes on the side of Pixabay CAN render this library unusable at any point. For more info, see the Licence.

Usage

These are snippets from the files in the tests/examples directory.

Videos

// Invoke the API directly by passing an array for the search
$response = (new VideoApi(API_KEY))->fetch(new VideoSearchParams([
	'category'       => Category::TRANSPORTATION,
	'editors_choice' => true,
	'per_page'       => 3
]));

// Show images
foreach ($response->getVideos() as $video) {
	echo $video->getMediumVideo()->getUrl() . PHP_EOL;
}

Images

// Define search parameters using fluent setters
$search = (new ImageSearchParams())
	->setColors([ Color::GREEN, Color::ORANGE ])
	->setImageType(ImageType::PHOTO)
	->setCategory(Category::NATURE)
	->setEditorsChoice(true)
	->setPerPage(3);

// Invoke the API
$response = (new ImageApi(API_KEY))->fetch($search);

// Show images
foreach ($response->getImages() as $image) {
	echo $image->getURLForSize180() . PHP_EOL;
}

Download results

// Destination must be defined 
if ($argc < 2) {
	echo "Usage: php -f tests/examples/download.php <destination> <count>";
	exit(1);
}

// Read the input parameters
$count = (int) min(50, $argv[2] ?? 50);
$destination = rtrim($argv[1], DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
if (!is_dir($destination) || !is_writable($destination)) {
	echo "Supplied destination is not a writable directory: ${destination}";
	exit(2);
}

// Invoke the API
$response = (new ImageApi(API_KEY))->fetch(new ImageSearchParams([
	PixabayParam::Q              => 'kitten',
	PixabayParam::CATEGORY       => Category::ANIMALS,
	PixabayParam::IMAGE_TYPE     => ImageType::PHOTO,
	PixabayParam::ORIENTATION    => Orientation::HORIZONTAL,
	PixabayParam::PER_PAGE       => $count,
	PixabayParam::SAFE_SEARCH    => true,
	PixabayParam::EDITORS_CHOICE => true,
	PixabayParam::ORDER          => OrderAlias::POPULAR
]));

// Download and store
$images = $response->getImages();
$count = count($images);
foreach ($images as $i => $image) {
	$preview = explode('/', $image->getPreviewURL());
	$name = end($preview) . PHP_EOL;
	echo sprintf("%3s / %3s, %s", $i + 1, $count, $name);
	Downloader::downloadTo($image->getLargeImageURL(), "{$destination}/{$name}");
}

Run examples

In order to run examples the Pixabay API key needs to be defined.

PIXABAY_API_KEY=0000000-0000000000000000000000000 php -f tests/examples/images.php
PIXABAY_API_KEY=0000000-0000000000000000000000000 php -f tests/examples/videos.php
PIXABAY_API_KEY=0000000-0000000000000000000000000 php -f tests/examples/download.php ~/Desktop/ 5
