Flickr Photos API

healthy 3,065 Subscribers

Live public photo streams from Flickr, the original photo-sharing community, served from Flickr's open public feeds — no key, nothing cached. Flickr has hosted billions of photos from photographers, museums and agencies for two decades. The recent endpoint returns the newest public photos uploaded across all of Flickr right now, each with its title, photographer, capture and publish dates, tags and ready-to-use image URLs at several sizes. The tag endpoint returns the newest public photos for one or more tags — sunset, wildlife, street — the hashtag feed of Flickr, with a match-any or match-all mode. The user endpoint returns a photographer's most recent public photostream by their Flickr ID; institutions like NASA on The Commons publish here. Every photo comes back cleaned up: the photographer name pulled out of the raw author field, machine tags filtered away from human tags, and the static image URL expanded into square, small, medium and large variants plus a link to the photo page. Everything is live from Flickr's public feeds, nothing stored. This is the Flickr photo-discovery layer for any gallery, wallpaper, photography, moodboard or social app. Distinct from Pixelfed and mainstream social-network APIs — this is Flickr's public photo stream by recency, tag and user. Feeds return the 20 most recent public photos per query. 3 endpoints, no key on our side.

Pixelfed API

Live data for Pixelfed, the federated photo-sharing network — the open Instagram alternative built on ActivityPub — no key, nothing cached. This reads a Pixelfed creator's public profile and photos directly. The account endpoint resolves a @username (optionally @user@instance) to its profile: display name, bio, follower and following counts, total posts, avatar and join date — Pixelfed's founder @dansup resolves to a profile with tens of thousands of followers. The posts endpoint returns a creator's most recent photo posts from their public feed, each with the image URL, the caption, the hashtags and a link to the post. The hashtags endpoint summarises what a creator posts about — their most-used hashtags and recent posting activity. Point it at anyone on pixelfed.social, or with user@instance at anyone across the Pixelfed fediverse. This is the creator-profile-and-photo layer for any social, photography, marketing or fediverse app. Live from Pixelfed, nothing stored. Distinct from fediverse-statistics and microblog APIs — this is Pixelfed creator profiles and their photos. 4 endpoints.

Photos API

Real stock photography as an API, powered by Lorem Picsum. Browse a curated catalogue of high-resolution photos with their author and dimensions, look up any photo by id, or build a ready-to-embed image URL on the fly — pick a width and height and get a random photo, pass a seed for a stable deterministic image (the same seed always returns the same photo, ideal for consistent placeholders per user or item), or target a specific photo by id, with optional grayscale and blur. No accounts, no attribution headaches: every image is a clean, hotlinkable URL. Perfect for mockups and design comps, blog and CMS placeholders, app prototypes, test fixtures and any layout that needs real imagery instead of grey boxes.

NASA Images API

Search the NASA Image and Video Library — Apollo, Hubble, Mars rovers, the ISS and decades of mission imagery — and fetch the asset file URLs in every resolution for any item. Great for space, education, media, wallpaper and museum apps. All NASA media is public domain.

Time-lapse API

Time-lapse photography maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the clip-length, interval and storage numbers a photographer, filmmaker or camera app plans a sequence with. The clip-length endpoint trades a long shoot for a short clip: the frames captured = the shoot duration ÷ the interval, and the clip length = those frames ÷ the playback frame rate — shooting for 60 minutes at one frame every 5 seconds gives 720 frames, and at 24 fps that plays back in 30 seconds, a 120× speed-up. Longer intervals compress time harder but can stutter on fast motion. The interval endpoint works backwards from a target clip: the frames needed = the target clip length × the frame rate, and the interval = the shoot duration ÷ those frames, so a 60-minute shoot for a 20-second clip at 24 fps needs 480 frames, one every 7.5 seconds. The storage endpoint sizes the card and disk: total storage = the frame count × the size of one frame, and because time-lapse shoots full-resolution stills (RAW ~20–30 MB each), 720 RAW frames at 25 MB is about 18 GB for a single 30-second clip — which is why a long lapse eats cards fast. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for time-lapse and intervalometer apps, photography-planning tools, and production calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. 3 compute endpoints. For video bitrate and file size use a bitrate API.
