New Feature: Unsplash Integration - API Guideline Issue

bpaul

I really like the new Unsplash integration, but after creating the app and integrating with with ACY, they said my application I submitted to them is insufficient.

See below: Do you know if ACY will build in what they need as they will suspend the integration.

Thanks for integrating the Unsplash API into your application! In order for your application to be approved for Production, I must be able to confirm that your application abides by our API Guidelines.

From the screenshot that you shared, I was unable to see a mention of Unsplash and the photographer's name. I also couldn't confirm that there's a UTM link tracing back to the photographer's Unsplash profile.

You can find a complete guide on Attribution here and there are several ways to show this (please upload any screenshots/videos to your Application Form instead of attaching it to your reply):
Hover your cursor over the linked text and take a screenshot when the URL appears in the bottom left-hand corner of the browser (if this is a web app)
Take a screenshot of the code so that I can see where the linked text directs to
Take a screen recording video of you clicking on the linked text so that I can see where it directs to
In addition, I couldn't find any indication of triggering a download. As mentioned in our Triggering Downloads guide:
When your application performs something similar to a download (like when a user chooses the image to include in a blog post, set as a header, etc.), you must send a request to the download endpoint returned under the photo.links.download_location property.
You’ll know you’re triggering downloads when the Downloads counter is greater than 0, so interacting with your app will help us confirm that the implementation is correct.

Alternatively, if your app is generating images randomly (vs. having images chosen by a user/admin), then we will not need to see downloads being triggered. Please let us know if this is the case.

We also ask that you provide a bit more information about your application so we can confirm your app follows our guidelines (through the description box or screenshots/recordings). Once I can confirm the above changes I'd be happy to approve your application for Production rates.

Thanks,

Victor
