The Pexels API prefab loads a number of videos from the Pexel API based on a keyword.
Important Note About Using API Keys in Play
If you are using any sensitive API keys in your Fetch nodes, these keys are exposed and can be seen by users of your prototypes and apps.
- For prototypes, make sure you have your App Clip’s password protected and that you are sending to trusted sources.
- For Export to Xcode, we recommend you store your keys server side using services like Firebase Cloud Functions, Supabase Edge Functions, or AWS Lambda for secure request handling.
