FAQ

About the Unsplash API

The AnyAPI Unsplash API returns Unsplash data as normalized JSON across 1 endpoint: search photos. You call one endpoint per job with a single key, and AnyAPI returns one normalized schema whichever source serves it. Pricing is in US dollars, $1.60 per 1,000 results, and never more than $0.0336 for a single request, with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 91.3% of Unsplash calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 12.0 seconds across 206 measured calls.

Pricing is in US dollars, $1.60 per 1,000 results, and never more than $0.0336 for a single request, with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet and each call draws it down. Some failed wallet-funded requests incur processing charges that we pass through at cost, with no markup; the error response shows the amount charged.

One endpoint: search photos. Every one takes the same authentication and returns the same normalized response shape, so reaching a second Unsplash endpoint is a change of URL and nothing else.

Over the last 30 days, 91.3% of Unsplash calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 12.0 seconds across 206 measured calls. These are AnyAPI's own measurements of traffic through the gateway, recomputed continuously, not a published service-level target.
