How to integrate v0 with Getty Images API?

 

Prerequisites

 
  • A Getty Images API account. Sign up at Getty Images Developer Portal and obtain your API key.
  • Basic familiarity with TypeScript and HTTP requests.
  • Your v0 project set up and accessible via the v0 editor.

 

Creating a Configuration File for API Credentials

 
  • Create a new file named gettyConfig.ts in your project’s root directory.
  • Add your Getty Images API key to this file. Since v0 lacks a terminal, directly hard-code the key here (ensure you remove or secure it before public deployment):
    • export const GETTYAPIKEY = 'YOURGETTYAPIKEYHERE';

 

Creating the Getty Images API Integration File

 
  • Create a new file named gettyImagesAPI.ts in your project’s root directory.
  • This file will contain functions to interact with the Getty Images API using HTTP requests.
  • Add the following code snippet into gettyImagesAPI.ts:
    • import { GETTYAPIKEY } from './gettyConfig';
      
      

      interface GettyResponse {
      result_count: number;
      images: Array<{
      id: number;
      title: string;
      display_sizes: Array<{uri: string}>;
      }>;
      }

      export async function searchGettyImages(phrase: string): Promise {
      const endpoint = https://api.gettyimages.com/v3/search/images?phrase=${encodeURIComponent(phrase)};
      const response = await fetch(endpoint, {
      method: 'GET',
      headers: {
      'Api-Key': GETTYAPIKEY,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      }
      });
      if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(Getty Images API Error: ${response.statusText});
      }
      return response.json();
      }

      // Example function to retrieve and log images for a given search phrase.
      export async function logImageResults(phrase: string): Promise {
      try {
      const data = await searchGettyImages(phrase);
      console.log("Total Results:", data.result_count);
      data.images.forEach(image => {
      console.log("Image Title:", image.title);
      if (image.displaysizes && image.displaysizes.length > 0) {
      console.log("Image URL:", image.display_sizes[0].uri);
      }
      });
      } catch (error) {
      console.error("Error fetching Getty Images:", error);
      }
      }



 

Integrating the Getty API Functions into Your Application

 
  • In your main application file (for example, app.ts or similar), import the functions from gettyImagesAPI.ts.
  • Call the logImageResults function where desired. Here is an example insertion:
    • import { logImageResults } from './gettyImagesAPI';
      
      

      // Example usage: Searching for "nature" images
      async function init() {
      await logImageResults("nature");
      }

      init();




  • This code should be inserted wherever you initialize your application logic.

 

Handling Dependencies without a Terminal

 
  • Since v0 does not provide terminal access for installing dependencies, ensure that you use only built-in browser APIs (like fetch) and avoid external libraries that require installation.
  • If you absolutely need external libraries, include their CDN links directly in your HTML file. For example, if you needed a polyfill for fetch (though modern browsers already support it), add the following snippet in your HTML file's <head> section:
    • <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fetch/3.6.2/fetch.min.js"></script>

 

Testing Your Integration

 
  • Save all modified and created files.
  • Run your project by using the v0 user interface’s run mechanism.
  • Open the browser console to view the results logged by the logImageResults function.
  • Verify that results from the Getty Images API are properly logged, including total results and image URLs.
