What it does

Pexels CLI is an agent skill from ItamarZand88/CLI-Anything-WEB. Searches and downloads free stock photos and videos from Pexels via the cli-web-pexels command-line tool — keyword search with orientation/size/color filters, photo and video details, downloads, photographer profiles, and collections. Use when the user asks about Pexels, free or royalty-free stock photos and videos, or wants to find and download media by keyword. Prefer this CLI over fetching the Pexels website. No authentication required.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Claude Code plugin that generates production-grade Python CLIs for any web app. 20 CLIs and counting. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

The user asks about Pexels
Royalty-free stock photos and videos
Wants to find and download media by keyword

Example prompts

“Use the pexels-cli skill to search and downloads free stock photos and videos from Pexels via the cli-web-pexels command-line tool — keyword search…”
“/pexels-cli”

Requirements

Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 931e201. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- jq
- pip
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Pexels CLI loads about 747 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 218 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~114
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~747

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

cli-web-pexels

Search and download Pexels stock photos and videos (no auth, Cloudflare bypass built in). Install: pip install cli-web-pexels

Commands

Command	Purpose	Key options
`photos search QUERY`	Search photos	`--orientation landscape\|portrait\|square`, `--size large\|medium\|small`, `--color HEX_OR_NAME`, `--page N`
`photos get SLUG`	Photo details (image URLs, EXIF, location)	slug or numeric ID
`photos download SLUG`	Download a photo (JPEG)	`--size small\|medium\|large\|original`, `-o/--output PATH`
`videos search QUERY`	Search videos	`--orientation`, `--page N`
`videos get SLUG`	Video details (`video_files[]` with quality/fps/link)	slug or numeric ID
`videos download SLUG`	Download a video (MP4)	`--quality sd\|hd\|uhd` (default hd), `-o/--output PATH`
`users get USERNAME`	Photographer profile
`users media USERNAME`	A user's uploaded photos/videos	`--page N`
`collections get SLUG`	Collection detail + media	`--page N`
`collections discover`	Popular and curated collections

Examples

bash

# Landscape nature photos; grab the first download URL
cli-web-pexels photos search "mountain lake" --orientation landscape --json | jq '.data[0].download_url'

# Photo details by slug (slug comes from search results)
cli-web-pexels photos get green-leaves-1072179 --json

# Download original size to a path
cli-web-pexels photos download green-leaves-1072179 --size original -o leaves.jpg

# Search videos and inspect HD renditions
cli-web-pexels videos get long-narrow-road-856479 --json | jq '.video_files[] | select(.quality=="hd")'

# Photographer profile
cli-web-pexels users get catiamatos --json

JSON output

Read commands accept --json and return the data directly — search returns {"data": [{id, title, slug, photographer, image_url, download_url, ...}]}, get returns the photo/video object. Errors return {"error": true, "code": "...", "message": "..."}. Download commands write the file and print the path (no --json flag).

Utilities

cli-web-pexels doctor [--json] self-diagnoses the local setup (install, auth, dependencies). cli-web-pexels mcp-serve serves the commands as MCP tools over stdio.

Agent tips

Pagination is --page N (24 results per page) on search/list commands.
Slugs from search results (e.g. green-leaves-1072179) work everywhere a SLUG argument is expected; bare numeric IDs also work.
