Server:

• Nextcloud version: Nextcloud Hub 6 (27.1.5)
• Splash-App version: latest available via app-store 2.2.1

Additional Information:
I can reach unsplash.com just fine from my network, so I doubt it is a dns or geo-block issue (location: Germany)

Could be some sort of api/token limit...?

might be some problem with your search terms, eg. returning empty result set. see #125 and #128

I've only ever used the defaults, so I doubt that's the problem here. Looking at the issue tracker growing, this git might gonna be stale soon. I've removed this app from my instance, as I don't want to have unmaintained apps running on my personal server. Leaving this open though.

It is also possible that the public unsplash api finally stopped working. The new authenticated api is working already, but you'll need a token for it. I need to update the how-to for that. Also release the current master.

The url for the api seems to have changed. There seems to be a new api for getting a random image but you need a api-token to access it. Maybe add a configuration-option for this and let users register at unsplash.

Can you check if this is present in 3.0.0 with the new authenticated api?

It is very likely that the original api was finally closed.

[cscgeiche]

With the new API, it seems to work again. I would recommend removing the unauthenticated API from the dropdown.

Closed with v3.0.2. It will remove unsplash and fall back to a supported provider.
