# direct-img.link
|
||
|
||
`https://direct-img.link/<query>` returns an image found by searching for `<query>`. It works anywhere an image URL does.
|
||
|
||
## URLs
|
||
|
||
- Words are joined with `+`: `https://direct-img.link/golden+retriever+puppy`
|
||
- Literal `.` and `/` are rejected; encode them as `%2E` and `%2F`. Other special characters are percent-encoded as usual. Max 200 characters; case and extra spaces are ignored.
|
||
- `?i=N` (1–40, default 1; 1–20 on free) returns the N-th working image for the query. Each `i` is a different image.
|
||
- A URL keeps returning the same image for 90 days, then may return a different one.
|
||
- With no result or an invalid parameter, a placeholder [bad image](https://direct-img.link/assets/bad.webp) is returned.
|
||
- Any URL can be downloaded and viewed to see what it returns.
|
||
|
||
## Free images
|
||
|
||
- `https://free.direct-img.link/<query>` returns only images marked public domain or CC0, from Openverse, then Wikimedia Commons. No credit is needed. It has far fewer images than the main host.
|
||
- `?src=openverse` or `?src=wikimedia` limits it to one source. `src` and `i` combine in any order.
|
||
|
||
## Rate limit
|
||
|
||
- `direct-img.link`: 35 new searches per day per IP
|
||
- `free.direct-img.link`: 100 new searches per day per IP
|
||
- Only new searches count. Cached URLs keep loading after the limit is hit.
|
||
- A search's results are kept for 1 hour, so other `?i=` values of a query searched in the last hour don't count either. If an image is wrong, try `?i=2`, `?i=3`… right away before rewording the query, since a reworded query is a new search.
|
||
- Burst: ~10 requests per 10 seconds per IP
