I just went through this process myself, hoping to create an automation to set a random abstract wallpaper each day on my home screen. Unfortunately the "Set wallpaper" action is broken on iOS 18 beta, but the rest may help you. First, you need to sign up for an account at Unsplash. I can't recall if I had to do anything to mark my account as a developer, but all of this was free. Check out https://unsplash.com/documentation#creating-a-developer-account Then go to https://unsplash.com/oauth/applications and create a new demo application. A demo application is limited to 50 API requests per hour but otherwise is fully functional, AFAIK. Once you create that application you'll find an access key towards the bottom of that application's page. Copy that key to your clipboard. Import the following shortcut. This is my first shared shortcut so I apologize if I've done anything wrong, but it should ask you for that API key you just copied and the category of image you want to capture. By default it grabs abstract images but any keyword should work. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/045120a29de142e4a81cf0f979eeb440 From there you can do with the image whatever you'd like. There are also other query parameters you can use that are documented at the link below. https://unsplash.com/documentation#photos If you have any problems I'm happy to try and help, but bear in mind that I'm pretty new at shortcuts so I'm not sure how much help I can be.... I also want to note that I found the bones of this shortcut somewhere else, I didn't come up with all of it, but I can't remember where I found it to give proper credit. Just know it's not all me. Edit: This is what I get for reading on mobile, then trying to respond half an hour later without rereading the OP. I didn't see the link to the shortcut you'd already made and forgot that you already had an application and key. Sorry if I got overly simple with it, but maybe this information will help somebody else, too. More on reddit.com

This shows using our TCastleDownload to access Unsplash API and ask for a random image matching a given search term (like a “cute fox”). The main part of the example is the unit gameunsplash.pas with a reusable class to download images from Unsplash. There are 2 ways how this can be useful: ... More on forum.castle-engine.io
