Pexels

from stockmedia_sdk import PexelsClient
# or: from stockmedia_sdk.pexels import PexelsClient

client = PexelsClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

# Search photos
result = client.search_photos("nature", per_page=10)
for photo in result.results:
    print(photo.photographer, photo.src.large)

# Get a single photo
photo = client.get_photo(2014422)

# Auto-paginate through all results
for page in client.search_photos_all("sunset", max_pages=3):
    for photo in page:
        print(photo.url)

Client Options

client = PexelsClient(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    timeout=30,                # Request timeout (seconds)
    max_retries=2,             # Auto-retry on 5xx/429
    auto_rate_limit_wait=False # Sleep+retry when rate-limited
)

Search Filters

from stockmedia_sdk import Orientation, Size, Color, Locale

client.search_photos(
    "ocean",

try:
    photo = client.get_photo(999999999)
except PexelsNotFoundError:
    print("Photo not found")
except PexelsRateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limited, retry after {e.retry_after}s")
