FAQ

Questions Lorem Picsum owners ask.

  • 01

    How can I get a blurred or grayscale version of a random image?

    You can use the get_random_image_url capability and set the blur parameter (1-10) or the grayscale boolean to true. The agent will construct the correct URL for you.

  • 02

    Is it possible to always get the same image for a specific UI element?

    Yes! Use the get_seed_image_url capability with a unique seed string. This ensures that the same image is returned every time you use that specific seed.

  • 03

    Can I find out who the author of a specific image is?

    Absolutely. Use the get_image_info capability with the image ID. It will return the author's name, the original dimensions, and the source URL.
