Issue Description

Because one comes from a previous database driven project, when doing the Image Search Abstraction Layer project, you get the idea that for this one you need to store the image links presented in the description of the project inside your own database, instead of using an external image search API to get the required information.

My Solution would be to add at least a bullet saying Use any image search API to complete this challenge and even add some examples for which of these API’s to use. I don’t think it would make the challenge that much easier, and would help avoid confusion and countless hours wasted approaching the problem from a flawed perspective. (I almost made something completely different than what was asked)

@Em-Ant No, I just thought it would be since they said they’d automatically charge once you surpassed 5000 requests. Thanks for clarifying this. I see now Imgur, Bing, Flickr and Google can be added as options in a bullet.

@Em-Ant fwiw, I was able to do pagination using the Bing API. https://battle-mouse.hyperdev.space/
