FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Usage

search(), curated() and the collection methods return a Laravel LengthAwarePaginator of Photo (or Collection) objects:
Working with Photos
Collections
Download Photos Locally
Blade Components
Image Component
Background Component
Available sizes: original, large2x, large, medium, small, portrait, landscape, tiny
If the Pexels API fails (network error, rate limit, photo not found), the components render nothing and the exception is reported through Laravel's exception handler, so a Pexels outage never breaks your page.
Error Handling
All exceptions extend Jatniel\Pexels\Exceptions\PexelsException:
Caching and Rate Limiting
API responses are cached (1 hour by default), and cached responses do not count toward the rate limit. The local rate limiter stops requests before you hit the Pexels limit (200 requests/hour on the free plan). Connection errors are retried twice.
Configuration
Attribution
Pexels requires attribution to photographers. Use the attribution prop on Blade components or call $photo->getAttribution() to generate proper credit.
