Get Collection Media

Get Curated Photos

Get My Collections
Tool to get all of the user's collections on Pexels. Use when you need to list a user's collections with pagination support.
Get Photo
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific photo. Use when you have a valid photo ID to fetch metadata including dimensions, photographer details, and image URLs. Use after confirming the photo ID from search or curated endpoints.
Get Popular Videos

Get Video by ID
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific video from Pexels. Use when you have a valid video ID to fetch metadata including dimensions, duration, videographer details, and available video file versions.
Search Photos
Tool to search for photos on Pexels. Use when you need to retrieve photos by a search term and optional filters. Call after confirming you have a valid Pexels API key. Response image URLs are nested under photo.src.<size> (e.g., photo.src.original, photo.src.landscape, photo.src.medium); the top-level url field is not sufficient for accessing specific image sizes.
Search Videos
Tool to search for videos on Pexels by query and optional filters. Use when you need to find relevant video assets. Combining multiple filters with a narrow query may return few or no results; only apply strict filter combinations when explicitly required.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I connect Pexels?
- Sign up for Conductor Deck, then add a Pexels step to a workflow on the visual canvas. The builder walks you through the connection it needs — an account authorization or the required keys — right inside the step. No separate setup or code.
- Is it free?
- Yes — Conductor Deck has a free tier you can build and run workflows on, with no credit card required. Paid plans raise the monthly run limits and add advanced features when you need them.
- What's the difference between a trigger and an action?
- A trigger is the event that starts a workflow — for example, a Stream Deck button press or an incoming event from a connected app. An action is a step the workflow performs once it runs. A workflow is one trigger followed by one or more actions.
