At a glance

What it does

Web Media Getter is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. One query across free image / video / GIF APIs (stock + historical/archival + GIF engines), returning normalized, license-tagged results with optional top-K download + attribution sidecar. The retrieval peer to local semantic search and generative media.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Media & Creative work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/web-media-getter”

Requirements

  • A credential in PEXELS_API_KEY
  • A credential in PIXABAY_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • PEXELS_API_KEY
    • PIXABAY_API_KEY
    • KLIPY_API_KEY
    • GIPHY_API_KEY
    • FREESOUND_API_KEY
    • OPENAI_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Web Media Getter loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 612 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

When to Use

Use when a task needs a REAL or ARCHIVAL photo / clip (hero, texture, reference, historical footage) or a reaction / animated GIF, rather than a generated one — fan out across free image/video/GIF sources in one query and download license-tagged results.

Source: connerkward/web-media-getter-skill (MIT).

web-media

Query many free image/video sources in one fan-out, get a normalized result list, optionally download top-K with an attribution sidecar. Zero-dep stdlib script.

Script: webmedia.py (in this dir). Keys: PEXELS_API_KEY, PIXABAY_API_KEY in central/.env (optional — the 5 no-key sources work without them).

GIF sources fire only with --type gif. Keys: KLIPY_API_KEY, GIPHY_API_KEY in central/.env. (tenor adapter removed — Google EOL'd the API 2026-06-30.) klipy is the one to get (free + unlimited); its adapter is unverified — assumes Tenor-compatible request/response; verify against docs.klipy.com when you key it. webmedia.py "shrug" --type gif --count 6 --json

Usage

bash
webmedia.py "1950s street scene" --type image --count 8 --json
webmedia.py "rocket launch" --type video --source nasa,internetarchive
webmedia.py "car factory 1930s" --source all --download --out /tmp/cars
  • --source all (default) | nokey (no-key only) | comma list (wikimedia,pexels)
  • --type image|video · --count N · --json · --download --out DIR
  • --download fetches each result's direct media URL and writes attribution.json (source, author, license, url, page_url) alongside the files.

Record schema

{source, title, url, thumb, dl, page_url, author, license, w, h, type} — dl is the directly-downloadable media URL (None when only a page exists).

The video caveat (important)

Archival sources (Internet Archive, Europeana, LoC) host whole films/documentaries, not single shots. So:

  • Modern single clip → pexels / pixabay (born as short clips, direct MP4). Done.
  • Historical single shot → retrieve the IA film here, then extract the shot:
    • Twelve Labs Marengo search (free 600 min) — pass the IA public MP4 URL, get a timestamped moment for "car on assembly line", clip with ffmpeg. Semantic, cheap.
    • or PySceneDetect (free, local) to cut the film into shots, then rank keyframes with CLIP via the muser skill. Fully offline.

Audio: freesound + audio QA

webmedia.py is image/video. For sound effects (real, CC-licensed) and for judging audio (since Claude can't hear), two sibling scripts live in central/scripts/:

  • freesound-fetch.py "<query>" [count] [max_sec] [out_dir] — searches freesound.org and downloads short hq-mp3 previews. Prints one JSON line per file with license/user for attribution. Key: FREESOUND_API_KEY in central/.env (token-based read; full originals would need OAuth — previews suffice for SFX).
  • audio-judge.py <file> "<target>" — sends the clip to OpenAI gpt-audio (audio-native) and returns JSON {heard, score, matches, suggestion}, enabling a generate/fetch → judge → iterate loop. Auto-sources a real sk- OPENAI_API_KEY from .env (ignores a local lm-studio stub env var). Pads sub-2s clips so the speech-tuned model doesn't refuse. Caveat: it reliably describes audio and filters obvious mismatches, but it is NOT a trustworthy judge of subjective qualities like "grating" — it labels nearly any beep "sharp/high-pitched". Use it to cull, not to make the final aesthetic call; confirm by ear.

Where this fits

This is the internet-retrieval capability — peer to muser (local semantic search) and fal (generate). A future media router would fan out across all three and rank candidates by relevance (CLIP), handing aesthetic spreads to lookdev. Don't build that router until the model demonstrably mis-routes without it.

Limitations

  • Results depend on third-party API availability, quotas, credentials, and license metadata quality.
  • License tags and attribution fields must still be reviewed before commercial or public use.
  • Relevance ranking can find plausible assets, but final aesthetic fit, brand safety, and audio suitability require human inspection.
