WrapSplashTS v5.1.0

WrapSplashTS is a simple, promise-based API wrapper for the popular Unsplash platform. The library is now written in TypeScript, bundled with Vite, and can be used in both Node.js and browser-based projects. Unsplash provides beautiful high quality free images and photos that you can download and use for any project without any attribution.

Before using the Unsplash API, you need to register as a developer and read the API Guidelines.

Note: Every application must abide by the API Guidelines. Specifically, remember to hotlink images and trigger a download when appropriate.

Installation

Install the package from NPM

npm install --save wrapsplash

The package exposes the main class through ES module and CommonJS entry points configured via the exports field in package.json.

Sample usage

// CommonJS
const WrapSplash = require('wrapsplash');

// ES modules
import WrapSplash from 'wrapsplash';

const unsplash = new WrapSplash();

unsplash.init({
  bearer_token: '<bearer-token>',
});

unsplash.getPhoto('<photo-id>')
  .then((result) => {
    console.log(result);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
  });

Development

npm install
npm run build
npm test
npm run test:coverage  # Generate coverage report
npm run lint

The package also includes a prepublish validation step that runs the build and tests before release.

Code Coverage

This project uses Vitest with V8 coverage provider to track test coverage. Coverage reports are automatically generated and uploaded to Codecov on every push to main or master branches via GitHub Actions CI.

View the latest coverage report:

To generate a local coverage report:

npm run test:coverage
# Coverage report will be generated in ./coverage directory

Current Coverage (v5.1.0)

Metric	Coverage	Threshold
Statements	97.8%	80%
Branches	79.5%	55%
Functions	98.4%	80%
Lines	97.8%	80%

Coverage thresholds (enforced):

Lines: 80%
Functions: 80%

New API aliases

The library now includes more descriptive convenience methods such as getPhoto, getRandomPhoto, createCollection, and updateCollection. The original method names remain available for backward compatibility.

Migration note: `createNewColection` → `createNewCollection`

The legacy method createNewColection (with misspelled "Colection") has been superseded by the correctly-spelled createNewCollection. The old method remains available as a deprecated alias for backward compatibility, but new code should use createNewCollection.

// Legacy (deprecated, but still works)
unsplash.createNewColection('My Collection');

// Recommended (new, correct spelling)
unsplash.createNewCollection('My Collection');

Dependency

This library depends on axios to make requests and generates required request headers for the Unsplash API.

API Documentation

Schema

Location

The API we are using is https://api.unsplash.com/. Responses are sent as JSON.

Summary objects

When retrieving a list of objects, an abbreviated or summary version of that object is returned - i.e., a subset of its attributes. To get a full detailed version of that object, fetch it individually.

Error messages

If an error occurs, whether on the server or client side, the error message(s) will be returned in an errors array. For example:

422 Unprocessable Entity

{
  "errors": ["Username is missing", "Password cannot be blank"]
}

Authorization

Public Actions

Many actions can be performed without requiring authentication from a specific user. For example, downloading a photo does not require a user to log in. To authenticate requests in this way, pass your application’s access key via the HTTP Authorization header:

Authorization: Client-ID YOUR_ACCESS_KEY

You can also pass this value using a client_id query parameter:

https://api.unsplash.com/photos/?client_id=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY

If only your access key is sent, attempting to perform non-public actions that require user authorization will result in a 401 Unauthorized response.

User Authentication

The Unsplash API uses OAuth2 to authenticate and authorize Unsplash users. Unsplash’s OAuth2 paths live at https://unsplash.com/oauth/.

Before using wrapsplash:

Developers are required to create a developer account from Unsplash.
Create a new App from Your Apps page.
Get the Access Key, Secret key, Callback URLs, and Authorization code.
If you have a Bearer Token, then its super, or else you can generate it using wrapsplash.

Note: Authorization code can be obtained by clicking the Authorize link next to Callback URLs. Also Authorization code is a one-time use code, you have to generate it again, if the action fails!.

Wrapsplash init()

Wrapsplash instance has to be initialized with your credentials obtained from Unsplash developer account for programatic access.These credentials information are passed in to the init() function as options. The following example shows all the available options.

UnsplashApi.init({
    access_key: '<api-key>',
    secret_key: '<secret-key>',
    redirect_uri: '<callback-url>',
    code: '<authorization-code>',
    bearer_token: '<bearer-token>'
});

If you have a bearer_token, then only bearer token has to be passed in.

UnsplashApi.init({
    bearer_token: '<bearer-token>'
});

Generate Bearer Token

A Promise factory to generate a Bearer Token for write_access to private data. The init() method in this case requires access_key, secret_key, redirect_uri, and code to generate bearer token.

Note: No Parameters are required for this function.

const WrapSplash = require('wrapsplash');

let UnsplashApi = new WrapSplash();

UnsplashApi.init({
    access_key: '<api-key>',
    secret_key: '<secret-key>',
    redirect_uri: '<callback-url>',
    code: '<authorization-code>',
});

UnsplashApi.generateBearerToken()
    .then(function (result) {
        console.log(result);
    }).catch(function (e) {
        console.err(e);
    });

If successful, the response body will be a JSON representation of your user’s access token a.k.a bearer token:

{
   "access_token": "091343ce13c8ae780065ecb3b13dc903475dd22cb78a05503c2e0c69c5e98044",
   "token_type": "bearer",
   "scope": "public read_photos write_photos",
   "created_at": 1436544465
 }

and once you have your bearer_token you can use it in your app like this:

UnsplashApi.init({
    bearer_token: '<bearer-token>'
});
