#photos

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.

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.

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.
