I went through the API documentations of given sources. I found that:

1. Source Site: https://www.imagesofempowerment.org API Endpoint: No API reference visible on the source site.

2. Source Site: https://affecttheverb.com API Endpoint: No API reference visible on the source site.

3. Source Site: https://genderphotos.vice.com API Endpoint: No API reference visible on the source site.

4. Source Site: https://www.nappy.co/ API Endpoint: No API reference visible on the source site.

5. Source Site: https://thenounproject.com/ API Endpoint: http://api.thenounproject.com Is it possible to systematically obtain the required content? (Yes) Authorisation. (OAuth 1.0a, API_key required) Other: The API is free for upto 5000 calls per month. After that a plan is required to be made in cooperation with the website owners.

@mathemancer @annatuma I am interested in working on this. In source 5. it is possible to obtain 250000 (5000*50) images every month for free (total count is 3 million). Please confirm if this can be taken up. Other sources do not have an API.

Thank You!

@hkmiller thank you for this wonderful list of resources, and @dravadhis for your thorough follow-up research.

Excitingly, nappy.co is already part of our "Meta Search" feature. On any results page you can click the "Not finding what you need? Search other sources" text to see the following:

Sadly, https://genderphotos.vice.com/ and https://affecttheverb.com/disabledandhere lack search functionality, so would be difficult to include in Meta Search.

@zackkrida Thank you for confirming. In that case two of the mentioned sources remain. I am willing to work on them if possible. @annatuma Please confirm for source 5..

@dravadhis I think it makes sense to proceed on source 5. Please make a separate issue with the before starting using the Provider API Integration template:

Image Provider API Integration Request

Also note that the limit of 50 objects per request is just the default. It may be possible to retrieve more.

I started work on #521 for now. I checked with the API and found that 50 is the default and maximum possible limit for the API. Nonetheless I am trying to cover all images in the integration.

Thank You!
