Abstract

Unsplash FindAWall is a secure and performance-optimized full-stack web application for image retrieval using the Unsplash API. The system introduces a backend proxy architecture to protect API credentials and ensure secure communication. Performance is enhanced through lazy loading, LRU-based caching, and responsive image rendering, significantly reducing load time and API usage. A rate-limit-aware backend mechanism ensures reliable API governance. The architecture is designed for future integration of AI-based semantic similarity search, providing a scalable, research-oriented foundation for intelligent and secure image retrieval systems.

Keywords: Image Retrieval, Unsplash API, Secure API Proxy, Lazy Loading, LRU Caching, Rate-Limit Governance, Web Performance Optimization, Full-Stack Development, Semantic Search, Scalable Web Architecture
