*API Questions for Developers *

I’ve made a Flutter app showcasing the capabilities of your pexels API. It allowed me to test Flutter’s multi-platform capabilities. There is an iOS and Android version, but Flutter can also supply a Linux and Windows version. Regardless, I do have some questions regarding the API. They are listed below.

Like Field

There is the field, liked, associated with the API’s Picture and Video records. How would my app allow a user to ‘like’ a particular image? Of course, they’re able to do so on the website with their Pexels web account, but not with an API key? As you can see below, I’ve provided a way for a user to ‘like’ a photo on the app, but do I have the means to reflect this in their web account?

Feature Request: Like A Category

There is a ‘liked’ field for an image or a video, but how about for a whole category? There must be particular users looking at a particular category all the time. It would be nice to save that category for review the next time the user logs on.

Location

The Json responses from the API are in English. Of course, I am situated in central Canada, and so the API provids English headings and names. However, would there be a way to return headings and names in another language? There is the option, locale, in the search for Photos API, but how can I change the Locale of the API response as a whole?

Additional API Calls

Finally, would there be some API calls not listed in the documentation that I may 'test' on my app? I see there are many options for the Picture Search I've yet to try, but would there be others not shown that would be interesting?

Pexels.com is a wonderful website. I’m certain you’ll have must success in the future.
