Build a frequency plot from keywords of the images searched with a family query:

library("ggplot2")

images <- searchImages(query = "family", per_page = 225)
# extract image ids:
image.ids <- sapply(seq_along(images[["data"]]), function(i) {
  images[["data"]][[i]][["id"]]
})

data <- lapply(image.ids, function(x) {
  cat(sprintf("[%s] get image: \"%s\"", match(x, image.ids), x), sep = "\n")
  Sys.sleep(4) # try to prevent HTTP 429 error
  details <- getImageDetails(id = x)
  as.character(details[["keywords"]])
})

kws <- do.call(c, data)
tbl.counts <- as.data.frame(table(kws))
top.tbl <- tbl.counts[order(tbl.counts["Freq"], decreasing = TRUE), ]
top <- head(top.tbl, 15L)

ggplot(top, aes(x = kws, y = Freq)) +
  geom_bar(stat = "identity", width = 0.7, color = "black", fill = "white") +
  labs(title = "The most popular family keywords", x = "Keyword") +
  ylab(NULL) +
  theme_bw()

OAuth 2.0 Authentication

OAuth 2.0 authentication is better to use for the queries as its scope is greater than the capabilities of the basic authentication. Read the vignette for more information. For general OAuth problems, please read the Shutterstock OAuth 2.0 guide thoroughly.
