Unsplash source not working (404) #26

Open fockr opened 2 months ago

Unsplash as image source stopped working some time ago with changing error codes - currently with "Could not download image (404)" when trying to download a new image.

What could be the reason?

Are you sure you set the source for images in better background settings?

Yeah, Unsplash are not nice and broke their deprecated source.unsplash.com endpoint. The new one explicitly disallows the use of e.g. background image changer tools, so I was not motivated enough to integrate with their API (using the users provided API-key). I did some experiments and it worked, but never cleaned it up and published that.
