Getty Images API

Getty Images does not expose self-service key creation in the public docs. To get API access, contact your Getty Images account representative as directed in the Technical Documentation. If you are building on behalf of a Getty Images customer, have the customer contact their account rep to obtain an API key tied to their license agreement. The OAuth docs describe the issued client credentials as an API key and secret, used as client_id and client_secret when requesting tokens.

First obtain Getty Images API client credentials (API key and secret) from your Getty account representative per the Technical Documentation. Then request an access token using one of Getty Images' OAuth 2.0 grants described in the Authorization docs, such as the client credentials grant by POSTing client_id=<API_KEY>&client_secret=<API_SECRET>&grant_type=client_credentials to https://authentication.gettyimages.com/oauth2/token. Use the returned bearer token until it expires.
