Official JavaScript SDK client for the Shutterstock API

The Shutterstock public API provides access to Shutterstock's library of media, as well as information about customers' accounts and the contributors that provide the media. This SDK provides classes for JavaScript and Node.js that you can use to access the API from your applications. These classes call the API in the same way that direct REST calls do. You can use this SDK to search for media, get information about media and about collections, and (if your subscription permits) license and download media. This is the official SDK provided by Shutterstock for its API.

  • API version: 1.0.5

Tests

To run the tests, you must authenticate with the Shutterstock API, get a token, and put the token in the SHUTTERSTOCK_API_TOKEN environment variable. See Authentication.

$ SHUTTERSTOCK_API_TOKEN="Your API Key"
$ yarn run test

Linting

$ yarn run lint

Subscriptions

To access the API and license media with the SDK, you need an API subscription or a free API account.

API subscriptions are separate from the subscriptions that are available on shutterstock.com. You can use an API subscription to license and download media only with the API; API subscriptions don't work on shutterstock.com. To buy an API subscription or set up a free account, see the pricing page. If you have a subscription from shutterstock.com and want to use it with the API, contact us.

Applications

The REST API uses an access token or secret key that is tied to your account and to an application. This application represents the application, program, or computer commands that are accessing the API. To use the API, you must create an application at https://developers.shutterstock.com/applications and note the client ID and client secret. You use this client ID and client secret either to use the API directly with basic authentication or to request a token for OAuth authentication.

Installation

npm or yarn

To install the SDK as a module with npm or yarn, run one of the following commands:

npm install shutterstock-api --save
yarn add shutterstock-api

Authentication

Authentication in the SDK works the same way as in the API:

All endpoints in the Shutterstock API require authentication. The API accepts HTTP basic authentication for some endpoints and OAuth authentication for all endpoints.

In the reference information for each SDK method (see Documentation for methods or the API reference, each endpoint is labeled with the types of authentication it accepts and the OAuth scopes it requires, if any. In general, HTTP basic authentication is sufficient for search queries and for getting information about pieces of media. The API requires OAuth authentication for actions that require customers to log in to shutterstock.com, such as licensing and downloading media.

For more information about authenticating to the API, see Authentication in the API reference.

Basic authentication

In HTTP basic authentication (also known as basic authentication), you pass your application's client ID and secret key to the SDK along with the request. To get the client ID and secret key for your application, go to https://developers.shutterstock.com/user/me/apps and open the information for your application. The following example uses the variables applicationClientId and applicationClientSecret for the application's client ID and secret.

const sstk = require('shutterstock-api');

sstk.setBasicAuth(applicationClientId, applicationClientSecret);

const api = new sstk.ImagesApi();

OAuth authentication

In this type of authentication, you use an application and an individual user's login credentials to obtain a token. For instructions on how to get a token, see OAuth authentication on the Shutterstock developer portal.

When you have the token, use it to configure the API client as in the following example, using the token as the value of the myAccessToken variable:

const sstk = require('shutterstock-api');

sstk.setAccessToken(process.env.SHUTTERSTOCK_API_TOKEN);

const api = new sstk.ImagesApi();

OAuth scopes

Most endpoints require an access token with one or more scopes, or permissions. You can see the scopes that each method requires in the reference information for each method.

The following list shows the available scopes.

  • licenses.create: Grant the ability to download and license media on behalf of the user.
  • purchases.view: Grant read-only access to a user's purchase history.
  • licenses.view: Grant read-only access to a user's licenses.
  • collections.edit: Grant the ability to create new collections, edit a collection, and modify the contents of a collection
  • collections.view: Grant read-only access to a collection and its contents.
  • user.view: Grants read-only access to a user's basic account information (includes username, id, first and last name). If email is the same as username, it also implies user.email

Examples

Follow the installation instructions and use the SDK in your JavaScript code as in these examples.

This example searches for images. The search parameters go in the queryParams variable. The API returns responses as JavaScript objects. The reference information for each method shows the class for the response. In this example, the callback function extracts the image ID, description, and preview link of each search result into an object.

const sstk = require('shutterstock-api');

sstk.setAccessToken(process.env.SHUTTERSTOCK_API_TOKEN);

const api = new sstk.ImagesApi();

const queryParams = {
  query: 'New York',
  sort: 'popular',
  orientation: 'horizontal'
};

api.searchImages(queryParams)
  .then(({data}) => {
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
  });

The next example requests a license for an image.

For POST requests like this one, you must create an object of the appropriate class to pass as the request body. In this case, the shutterstock-api.ImagesApi.licenseImages method accepts a body parameter of the class shutterstock-api.LicenseImageRequest. This parameter is an array of objects of the class shutterstock-api.LicenseImage, each of which has the ID of an image to license. The reference information for each method shows the class for the body parameter.

const sstk = require('shutterstock-api');

sstk.setAccessToken(process.env.SHUTTERSTOCK_API_TOKEN);

const api = new sstk.ImagesApi();

const imageId = '' // ID of image to license

const imageToLicense = new sstk.LicenseImage(imageId);

const body = new sstk.LicenseImageRequest([imageToLicense]);

const queryParams = {
  subscriptionId: process.env.SHUTTERSTOCK_SUBSCRIPTION_ID,
  format: 'jpg',
  size: 'huge'
};

api.licenseImages(body, queryParams)
  .then(({data}) => {
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
  });
