IMPORTANT NOTE¶

Although this class will expose additional methods and properties from the PyPexels.Curated class, you should only rely upon and make use of the methods and properties listed above. Remember, this is a convenience class that provides some uniformity in behavior while emulating a random image generator. If you need to fully control the content and behavior of the classes, then revert to use PyPexels.Curated class, with per_page=1 and page=randint() value directly.
