Requesting Permission to use picsum.photos image URLs in jsonplaceholder.typicode.com photos endpoint

[viemmsakh]

I have a PR in place on the JSONPlaceholder repo that seeks to replace all via.placeholder.com images with image URLs for images on picsum.photos.

Since this would likely increase the traffic to picsum.photos I wanted to reach out and request permission to use the picsum.photos service to replace images urls on jsonplaceholder to valid images provided by your service.

Thanks,

Aaron

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out! Completely fine to use picsum.photos for this.
Rather then rely on a list of all the IDs, I would suggest using the /seed/{seed} endpoint however: https://picsum.photos/#random-image

Eg, replacing today's URLs of https://via.placeholder.com/600/92c952 with something like https://picsum.photos/seed/92c952/600.
