Search editorial images

by
Published Oct 17, 2025

This endpoint searches for editorial images. If you specify more than one search parameter, the API uses an AND condition. For example, if you set the `category` parameter to "Alone,Performing" and also specify a `query` parameter, the results include only images that match the query and are in both the Alone and Performing categories. You can also filter search terms out in the `query` parameter by prefixing the term with NOT.
