First off, the Pixabay API is limited to return up to 500 matches. The total number of available hits on the website is included only as a number in the API response.

In your case, make sure that the q param is properly URL encoded. The values of data.pixa_image_page and data.pixa_image_type in your request are unknown. If, for example, image_type is "vector", there will be fewer matches than for "photo".

Maybe that helps ...
