Overview

Thanks for the shortcut. Btw, you can also remove the Filter step since the API already provides a random endpoint: https://unsplash.com/documentation#get-a-random-photo

Thanks for the information. It's a good suggestion!

Is there any way of querying for a two-word keyword? "Black cat" for example.

Also
In the old shortcut I was using, you could search for more than keyword by separating the with a comma,"cats,cars,dogs" can you make do the same in this shortcut?
Great shortcut, is now my favorite
