# Behance Project Search

Search public Behance projects by keyword and sort order. Each result carries the project id, title, owners (username, display name and profile URL), cover image, appreciation and view counts and the public project url. Behance renders only the first page (24 projects) to anonymous visitors; has_more comes from the next-page flag Behance returns, page is always 1 and each result carries its publish date as ISO 8601 UTC. A query with no matches is a valid empty answer and is billed as one.
