Porn in stock photos?

[Square Wheels]

Someone on my site went to Other Media --> Insert a stock photo and started typing racoon.  After they typed just two letters ra a nude woman pic came up.  Happened here too.

I see in Giphy we can limit pics by rating.  How do we limit Stock Photos?  I do not allow any nudity on my sites.

Thanks

According to the Pixabay API documentation, there's a "safesearch" parameter:

Quote

 

safesearch	bool	A flag indicating that only images suitable for all ages should be returned. Accepted values: "true", "false" Default: "false"

 

It defaults to "false." This would be a nice option the configuration of the integration.

Its a new feature in 4.5 😉

While we're adding options to the "Community enhancement," lang should be considered to add for the benefit of those non-English speaking communities.

lang	str	Language code of the language to be searched in. Accepted values: cs, da, de, en, es, fr, id, it, hu, nl, no, pl, pt, ro, sk, fi, sv, tr, vi, th, bg, ru, el, ja, ko, zh Default: "en"

Just to clarify, is this an add-on? I don't see an option for stock photography in default 4.5.

I threw this plugin together. Use at your own risk. It inserts the safesearch = true parameter into the API call (assuming Pixabay integration is turned on). This could be extended by whomever to add language as well. Thanks to @bfarber for the "hard way" clue.

Thanks for letting us know - we'll get that fixed 👍

Btw: how hard is to get approval from Pixabay? I've applied for it yesterday, still no answer from them.

Not sure, mine was instant.

It's a bit confusing. There is an application process, but you don't need to do that for this integration. When you go to the page linked in the ACP and create an account, it has what appears to be a sample API key embedded in that page, but that's your actual key. It took like three cups of coffee for me to figure out what was going on there.

Pixabay does make it a little odd, but all you need is the key, which is only shown in the documentation page. We'll sort out the safe search option for 4.5.3.

@xtech: here's a screenshot of where you can find the key on the documentation page (linked from ACP > Settings > Community Enhancements > Pixabay > Configure). After you create an account/login, which has no approval process, you'll see a value in the green box in the Parameters listing under API. That's the actual API key for you. I've pixelated it in the screenshot below.

There's no obvious HERE'S YOUR API KEY call out.

If you could add another option that returns only the naughty stuff, that would be appreciated. Please enable said option here. I understand that's not an option with the Pixabay API, but I'm confident you'll find a way. Thanks. 🤓

Did the same thing. It's only visible after the third cup of coffee.

Since when is all nudity classed as porn?  😆

Even with a safe search filter, there will be nudity.

FYI, this is no longer needed as of 4.5.3+. It won't break anything, yet is now a configurable option in the ACP > Community Enhancements > Pixabay

Absolutely, art has always used nudes to depict the human form.

Still a bit of a surprise when you're looking for photos of coffee. 😂😂😂

As Paul mentioned, 4.5.3 adds a safe search option (on by default). It won't catch everything, but it'll reduce the chances your kids will spot you surfing for naked pictures on your forum.
