GET /photos → endpoint removal
Unsplash API
Stopped working
On September 19, 2024, Unsplash removed support for the query parameter order_by on GET /photos. Calls using this parameter fail after that date, as the feed will only return photos in the latest order.
Calls it hits
GET /photosquery parameter order_by
What to use instead of these calls
Drop order_by from your requests; the feed returns the latest photos.
In Unsplash API's words
The photos Editorial feed will no longer support the order_by parameter, instead only returning photos in the latest order (the existing default).
