To comply with usage guidelines and ensure proper credit is given to image creators, developers MUST include both image attribution and author attribution for each image displayed.

Image Attribution

When displaying images obtained through the Lummi API, you MUST provide a clickable link to the original source of the image. Use the attributionUrl property from the image object.

Author Attribution

Developers MUST also attribute the original author of the image. Use the attributionUrl from the author object to create a clickable link to the author’s profile.

Example

<div className='relative'>
    <img src={image.url} alt={image.name} />

    <p className='absolute bottom-0 right-0'>
        Photo by
        <a href={author.attributionUrl} target='_blank'>
            {author.name}
        </a>
        on
        <a href={image.attributionUrl} target='_blank'>
            Lummi
        </a>
    </p>
</div>

General Best Practices for Attribution

  • Visibility: The attribution should appear near the image, on top of it, or be visible on hover.
  • Formatting: Use clear and clickable text links for all attribution URLs.
  • Styling: Match the attribution style with your application’s design for a seamless user experience.

By adhering to these guidelines, developers ensure compliance with Lummi’s terms of service and respect the work of creators.
