tomevault-io Parse $ARGUMENTS into flags for the bundled script and run it in one Bash call. The script handles search, download, filename generation, and Typst code output.
Flags: query (positional), --logo, --stock, --url <url>, -d dir, -o output, -n count, --size, --type, --width, --caption "..."
Pass --typst when generating images for Typst documents (the typical case). If --output/-o is not given, omit it (script auto-generates from query + dir).
Run exactly one command:
SERPAPI_KEY="$SERPAPI_KEY" uv run --script {baseDir}/scripts/image_search.py "<query>" --typst [other flags...]
If SERPAPI_KEY is empty in this shell, read it directly from fish universal variables (avoids shell greeting pollution): `printf '%b' "$(sed -n 's/.*SERPAPI_KEY://p' ~/.config/fish/fish_variables)"`.
For --stock mode, also forward Unsplash/Pexels keys if available:
SERPAPI_KEY="$SERPAPI_KEY" UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY="$UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY" PEXELS_API_KEY="$PEXELS_API_KEY" uv run --script {baseDir}/scripts/image_search.py "<query>" --stock --typst [other flags...]
Print the script's stdout to the user. Done.
