search_photos

app.svglab/svglab · Verify this server

Find real photographs for a screen and CHOOSE one. Each candidate returns its description (alt text), orientation and aspect, pixel size, dominant colour, photographer, licence and the exact attribution string, and (preview, default true) a small thumbnail image so you judge it by eye. Read docs guide photos before the first search. Query the product's own subject and moment ("barista pouring latte art close up", not "coffee" or "lifestyle"). Choose by subject first, then room for text where the caption goes, then colour fit with your palette (compare color to your tokens), then consistency of light and grade with the other photos on the screen; never settle for index 0 by default. Pass the chosen url to place_image, or use it as an image node or photo_card src in create_layout (the server fetches https links). Sources: Unsplash, then Pexels (both need an API key on the deployment; without one the call fails and says so). For the user's OWN files use upload_asset. It is also how you find a reference before hand drawing: pass the chosen url to study a reference using your own image tools {url} and study it. In a drawn only project (imagery "drawn") use it only for references; photos are not placed there.
