How this service works
Search openly licensed images (Creative Commons and public domain) from Flickr, Wikimedia and museums via Openverse: image URL, size, creator, license and a ready-made attribution line. Filter to commercially usable images. Use to illustrate posts, slides or sites legally.
Output
Returns a list of openly licensed images, each with the image URL, image dimensions, creator name, license type (e.g. CC BY 2.0), source platform (Flickr, Wikimedia, museum), and a pre-formatted attribution string ready to paste into a post or slide.
Example use cases
Illustrating a blog post legally
“I'm writing a blog post about sustainable architecture — can you find me 5 openly licensed photos of green buildings that I'm allowed to use commercially, along with the attribution text for each?”
Sourcing slides for a presentation
“I need images of the Roman Colosseum for a history presentation — find me up to 8 public domain or Creative Commons photos from Wikimedia or museums, and include the ready-made attribution lines.”
Finding free social media visuals
“Search for freely licensed images of 'flat white coffee' that I can use on my café's Instagram — only ones that allow commercial use, give me up to 6 results with image URLs and creator credits.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://bess-x402.onrender.com/v1/media/images?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need legally safe, openly licensed images with proper attribution metadata already provided — ideal for content creators, bloggers, and developers who want to illustrate posts, slides, or websites without manual license checking. Prefer this over general web image search when license compliance and attribution accuracy matter, or when you need to filter specifically to commercially usable images.
Side effects
- Empty results if the search query is too specific or niche — try broader terms
- License filter 'commercial' may return fewer results for obscure topics
- Rate limiting or service unavailability from the Openverse upstream API
- Invalid license_type value returns an error — use only 'commercial', 'modification', or 'all'
- Limit out of range (must be 1-20) returns a validation error
