Search millions of free stock photos and videos.
- What
- Search millions of free stock photos and videos.
- Cost
- Free
- Needs
- A Pexels API key (free at pexels.com/api — header name is exactly "Authorization"), kept in your Muse's secure vault (never paste secrets here). Note: the API is free but rate-limited (~200 requests/hour, ~20k/month); fully read-only, nothing is billed or modified.
- Install
- Copy the installer prompt below into your Muse — your agent does the rest.
A Muse agent skill that searches Pexels's library of free stock media: search photos, search videos, and list curated collections, returning thumbnails and direct links to the real files. Fully read-only — nothing is uploaded, changed, or billed. Honest note: the Pexels API key itself is free, but it is rate-limited (roughly 200 requests per hour and ~20,000 per month); stay inside those quotas. Pexels media is free to use commercially under the Pexels license — keep the photographer's credit line when you publish. Draft: written from Pexels's public API docs, not yet live-tested end-to-end — this listing's unverified status reflects that. No secrets in the repo.
Curated by Skill Harbor — free, open-source build (MIT) by @bluman1.

Install
Prerequisites: A Pexels API key (free at pexels.com/api — header name is exactly "Authorization"), kept in your Muse's secure vault (never paste secrets here). Note: the API is free but rate-limited (~200 requests/hour, ~20k/month); fully read-only, nothing is billed or modified. No GitHub account needed unless listed here. Install "Pexels Connector for Muse" for me. A Muse agent skill that searches Pexels's free stock library: search photos and videos, list curated collections, return thumbnails and direct links. Repository: https://github.com/bluman1/muse-connectors/tree/main/connectors/pexels 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "pexels". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. save my Pexels API key in the vault). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a skill?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the skill up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a skill before installing it.
