UnsplashSharp

A .NET client wrapper for https://unsplash.com written in .NET Standard 2.0

Installation

Install the package via NuGet.

Nuget

Usage

First you need to get a free API key from unsplash.com. You can create a new account and navigate to the Unsplash Developer Portal. Here you can create a new application and you will find your API key.

You need to create a new instance of UnsplashpService passing in the API key. There is also an interface available, if you are using Dependency Injection.
