Whether you run an advertising agency, have a digital platform, or build apps, Shutterstock's API provides an integrated solution that brings our diverse, superior content to your services. The API documentation can be found at Shutterstock API Reference.

Taking advantage of Shutterstock API brings you numerous benefits, including:

Here is a simple JavaScript example of how to call the Shutterstock API:

const axios = require('axios');

const getConfig = {
    method: 'get',
    url: 'https://api.shutterstock.com/v2/images/search',
    headers: { 
        'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN', 
    },
    params: { query: 'your-search-term' }
};

axios(getConfig)
.then(function (response) {
   console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
})
.catch(function (error) {
   console.log(error);
});

In this example, replace 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' with your actual Shutterstock API access token and 'your-search-term' with the keyword for photos or videos you want to retrieve.
