401 Unauthorized when using Faker::LoremFlickr

[heratyian]

Describe the bug

Not able to generate images using LoremFlickr

To Reproduce

Faker::VERSION 3.1.1

Use the reproduction script below to reproduce the issue:

image_url = Faker::LoremFlickr.image(search_terms: %w[food])
io = URI.open(image_url)
=> `open_http': 401 Unauthorized (OpenURI::HTTPError)

Expected behavior

An image io object

Additional context

Seems like https://loremflickr.com/ requires login for all requests at the moment.

The FakerJS community also detected this, so I drop a link here in case somebody finds some information what is going on:

• loremflickr.com seems to be behind an authwall now faker-js/faker#2014

[heratyian]

Seems like this is resolved now. loremflickr must have been temporarily down.

thanks for letting us know! @heratyian @ST-DDT !

We've been thinking about removing some generators that call external services in the issue below and we've recently deprecated another image generator that relied on an external service:
