Searching for videos has same interface as searching for images
`js
import { searchImages } from 'pixabay-api';
searchVideos(AUTH_KEY, 'puppy');
`
Bad values for some props will throw an error
`js
await searchImages(AUTH_KEY, 'puppy', {per_page: 203});
// will throw an error:
// Error: Request.per_page: '203', but accepted values 3 - 200
`
To suppress those errors, turn off validation
`js
await searchImages(AUTH_KEY, 'puppy', {per_page: 203}, false);
// Will return bad http request, no error
`
with Authenticate you no longer need to add auth_key within searchImages
`js
import { authenticate } from 'pixabay-api';
const { searchImages, searchVideos } = authenticate(AUTH_KEY);
await searchImages('puppy'); // no need to add auth_key
await searchImages('birthday cake', {per_page: 20}); // no need to add auth_key
await searchVideos('dog'); // no need to add auth key

Probably you forget to add auth_key or you have bad one. First, make
sure that you have right auth_key by pasting this code (with your auth_key)
