Accessing Iconfinder API with JavaScript

If you're a developer looking to access the Iconfinder API using JavaScript, you've come to the right place! In this blog post, we'll go through some examples of how to make API calls using JavaScript.

Getting Started

To access the Iconfinder API, you'll first need to create an account on their developer website and get an API key. Once you have your API key, you can start making API requests.

Endpoints

Iconfinder API has several endpoints you can use to get different types of data. Here are some examples:

Search icons

You can search for icons by using the /v4/icons/search endpoint. Here is an example code snippet:

let query = "computer";
let url = "https://api.iconfinder.com/v4/icons/search?query=" + query;
let options = {
    method: "GET",
    headers: {
        Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE",
    },
};
fetch(url, options)
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((data) => console.log(data));

Replace YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE with your actual API key.

Get icon details

To get details about an icon, use the /v4/icons/{icon_id} endpoint. Here is an example code snippet:

let icon_id = "123456789";
let url = `https://api.iconfinder.com/v4/icons/${icon_id}`;
let options = {
    method: "GET",
    headers: {
        Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE",
    },
};
fetch(url, options)
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((data) => console.log(data));

Again, replace YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE with your actual API key and 123456789 with a valid icon ID.

Get icon sets

You can also get icon sets using the /v4/iconsets endpoint. Here is an example code snippet:

let url = "https://api.iconfinder.com/v4/iconsets";
let options = {
    method: "GET",
    headers: {
        Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE",
    },
};
fetch(url, options)
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((data) => console.log(data));

Replace YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE with your actual API key.
