get_wallpaper is a python script that fetches a random wallpaper from https://unsplash.com/' and can be used from feh in order to be set as a background.

How to use:

1. Create API token from unsplash

2. run:

   feh --bg-scale UNSPLASH_CLIENT_ID='<client_id>' ./get_wallpaper.py

3. profit

this only works in non gnome desktop environments. For gnome you need to use gconftool.

#!/bin/bash
source /home/staurosk/.virtualenvs/random_wallpaper/bin/activate
LINK="$(/usr/local/bin/get_wallpaper.py)"
DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/feh --bg-scale ${LINK}
