It provides ways to photographers to sell their images, as well as providing a large collection of images to view. On June 30th, they are removing all Creative Commons images from their site (see https://support.500px.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005097533)

My method of getting API info: Using the BurpSuite Pro Network Security tools, I set up a MITM attack in between a VM with a custom SSL CA certificate installed and the server. After intercepting a request to api.500px.com, I cloned the request and sent it to the "Intruder" Tool, where I set the page string in the GET request to the API as a 'payload', then had it auto-increment numbers while processing the requests and saving the responses. I set the limit to be 1000, although I ended up stopping it at around 900 because I noticed the responses were turning empty (and theres a total pages number in the api info). I 7zipped all of the responses and threw them up on the IA for someone to have a go at if they want, because after writing this I'm heading to bed.

I also had a go at writing a python script that once given a list of URLs, it would parse and download all of the metadata and photos from those URLS: https://github.com/adinbied/500pxBU

Hopefully someone can pick up where I left off using what I've posted - I should be back around 3PM UTC on 6/29/18.
