API data model and object types

Below are the possible representation of users, albums, photos, comments, topics, news, and services. The objects and variables are hopefully self-explanatory, but we will describe those that might be not so clear.

For users, albums and photos, we will also provide the simplest valid object that the server might send back, as well as the possible dictionary names that would contain items of the respective objects.

Users

Minimum valid object

      {
        "id": "1013",
        "fullname": "Ramzi Rizk",

      }

Remarks

  • Arrays of album items can have the following dictionary names as wrappers: albums, likedAlbums, feedAlbums
  • Albums can have the following type: tag,venue,event,city,country,live,popular,radius,special
  • The extended album object above is an example based on the following request: https://www.eyeem.com/api/v2/albums/17?detailed=1&includePhotos=1&numPhotos=2&photoDetails=1&includeContributors=1&includeLikers=1 In such a request, the number of inline photos to return, whether to include the photo details (comments, likes, etc) is of course optional, typically, the photos, contributors and likers should be retrieved using additional calls to the respective endpoints. Such calls also offer the option to request more details (such as the other albums to which a photo belongs)
