[About](#1-about)\n 2. [License](#2-license)\n 3. [Prerequisites](#3-prerequisites)\n 4. [How to use](#4-how-to-use)\n\n## 1. About\n\nI found [spaceholder](https://github.com/ecrmnn/spaceholder) to fetch\nrandom public domain images, but it required npm, which seemed overkill\nfor something this simple.\n\nI originally intended this to create \"fake\" album covers instead of a stock\nbackground, but I realize that this could be used as the base for\nsomething like Buffer's [Pablo](http://pablo.buffer.com/) service with a \nlittle ImgMagick help.\n\nThis script can use four different services:\n\n * [lorempixel](http://lorempixel.com/)  \n * [Lorem Picsum](https://picsum.photos/)\n * [Placeimg](https://placeimg.com/)\n * [Unsplash Source](https://source.unsplash.com)\n\n## 2. License\n\nThis project is licensed under the MIT license. For the full license, see `LICENSE`.\n\n## 3. Prerequisites\n\n * curl - Can be found in the `curl` package on major Linux distributions.\n * wget (for photosum) - Can be found in the `wget` package on major Linux distributions.\n\n## 4. How to use\n\nUsage is `imgholder.sh` with the following *optional* arguments  \n\n * -x [#]  X resolution of the resulting image (default 512)  \n * -y [#]  Y resolution of the resulting image (default 512)  \n * -p [placeimg|lorempixel|picsum|unsplash] Source of image (default unsplash)  \n * -o [path/filename] Complete path of output, defaults to output.jpg  \n * -c [category] Category of image (placeimg and lorempixel only)  \n\n\nDownload an image that is 1024x1024, from unsplash  \n  `imgholder.sh -p unsplash -x 1024 -y 1024`\n\nDownload an image from placeimg that is of the nature category that's 512x512  \n  `imgholder -p placeimg -c nature`\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Furiel1998%2Fsimple_placeholder_images","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Furiel1998%2Fsimple_placeholder_images","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Furiel1998%2Fsimple_placeholder_images/lists"}
