# Pixabay photos in the Images module

## Retrieving an API key

**To access photos from Pixabay you need to create an account or log into your Pixabay account.**

Visit this [link](https://pixabay.com/api/docs/#api_search_images) in the API docs of Pixabay. In the **key** parameter you will either see a Login | Sign Up action ....

...or the API key when you are logged in.

## Accessing High-Resolution Photos

In order to get access to high-res photos instead of low-res(around 640px x 540px) photos, you have to ask for permission. Therefore visit this [link](https://pixabay.com/api/docs/#hires_image_search_response) and next to the headline click on "requires permission".

After that a modal will appear. Check all checkboxes and explain the purpose of using Pixabay high-res photos, e.g. "I am selling business cards and want to give my customers the possibility to access photos from Pixabay....".

Lastly you have to wait 24-48 hours for the e-mail of Pixabay with the confirmation state.

## Entering the API key

Wordpress  
You only need to enter the Pixabay API key in the General Settings of Fancy Product Designer. If you have access to high-res photos, you can also enable the relevant option "Pixabay High-Res Images".

jQuery  
The API key needs to be set in the [plugin options](http://jquerydoc.fancyproductdesigner.com/classes/Options.defaults.html#property_http://jquerydoc.fancyproductdesigner.com/classes/Options.defaults.html#property_facebookAppId). For high-res photos you need to set _pixabayHighResImages_ to true in the plugin options.
