Hbg Free Material

Search, compare, and download stock images from Pexels, Unsplash, and Pixabay, stock videos from Pexels and Pixabay, and browser-selected Pixabay music through the hbg-free-material CLI. Use when an agent needs licensed stock media candidates, preview URLs, creator attribution, source links, local files, quality selection, or reproducible manifest records without loading an MCP server.

File contents

HBG Free Material

Use the installed hbg-free-material CLI for every operation. Keep provider keys in the user's environment or a local .env; never print, copy, or commit key values. Prefer JSON output so the agent can compare candidates before downloading.

Check providers

hbg-free-material providers

Pexels and Pixabay support images and videos. Unsplash supports images only. Pixabay music search is browser-assisted because its public API does not expose music search.

Search images

hbg-free-material search "Hong Kong cha chaan teng interior" \
  --platform all --per-page 5 --json

Compare subject fit, orientation, dimensions, creator, source page, and provider before selecting.

Download a balanced batch:

hbg-free-material download "steaming beef noodle soup" \
  --platform all --count 3 --output-dir ./downloads/food --json

Fetch one selected result while preserving attribution:

hbg-free-material fetch "DOWNLOAD_URL" --platform pexels --id "PHOTO_ID" \
  --photographer "NAME" --source-url "SOURCE_URL" --alt "DESCRIPTION" \
  --output-dir ./downloads/selected --json

For Unsplash, pass --download-location from the search result so the required tracking call is made.

Search videos

hbg-free-material video search "cat running in a garden" \
  --platform all --per-page 5 --quality hd --json

Quality choices:

best: largest available file.
hd: practical HD or Full HD; default.
sd: smaller provider variant when available.
small: smallest available preview variant.

Download from both supported providers:

hbg-free-material video download "Hong Kong street at night" \
  --platform all --count 2 --quality hd \
  --output-dir ./downloads/videos/hong-kong --json

Pixabay music

Read references/pixabay-music.md before a music request. Search in a real browser, then download the selected public CDN result:

hbg-free-material music fetch "CDN_AUDIO_URL" \
  --id "AUDIO_ID" --artist "ARTIST" --source-url "TRACK_PAGE_URL" \
  --title "TITLE" --duration 120 --filename selected-track --json

Run hbg-free-material proxy only when a downstream player needs an HTTP range-aware localhost URL.

Delivery rules

Translate broad Chinese descriptions into concise English search keywords unless exact text or a named place must remain unchanged.
Search first; do not automatically accept the first result.
Preserve the adjacent manifest.json with creator, source page, and provider license URL.
Never claim a provider license covers every possible use. Advise checking the asset page for publication-sensitive work.
Render downloaded media in chat when the user asks to see or play it, and provide the absolute saved path.
Use image or video generation skills when the user asks to create or edit media rather than retrieve stock media.
