Searches for images on Pexels using the provided query.
This function sends a GET request to the Pexels API with the specified search query
and authorization header containing the API key. It returns the JSON response from the API.
[2024-08-31] Note:
`curl` succeeds but API call via Python `requests` fail. Apparently, this could be due to
Cloudflare (or others) blocking the requests, perhaps identifying as Web-scraping. So,
changing the user-agent to Firefox.
