🧭 Common recipes

• Find proven popular content: set order="downloads" and choose a focused query.
• Track newly published assets: set order="newest" and rerun the same search regularly.
• Exclude generative AI: set ai="exclude".
• Research AI-generated content: set ai="only".
• Compare formats: repeat the same query with different asset values.

⚙️ Best practices

• Start with a focused query to reduce unrelated results.
• Use a realistic maxItems for faster runs and smaller datasets.
• Treat popularity metrics as snapshots because counts can change over time.
• Expect search rankings to evolve as Adobe Stock adds, updates, or removes assets.
• Use id as the stable asset identifier when comparing repeated runs.

⚖️ Legal & ethical considerations

• Respect Adobe Stock's Terms of Service and applicable usage policies.
• Use previews, titles, creator information, and other metadata responsibly.
• Follow copyright and licensing requirements before publishing or redistributing creative assets.
• Handle creator information in accordance with privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA.
• Keep collection volumes reasonable and avoid abusive usage patterns.

❓ FAQ

Which Adobe Stock asset types can I search?

You can search photos, illustrations, vectors, videos, 3D assets, and templates.

Can I exclude generative AI assets?

Yes. Set ai="exclude". Use ai="only" to return only generative AI results.

What do nb_downloads and nb_views mean?

They are the download and view counts reported for the asset at the time of the run. Availability and values can vary by asset.

Why did the Actor save fewer items than maxItems?

The search may run out of distinct results. The Actor removes duplicate asset IDs instead of padding the dataset with repeated items.

Does this Actor download licensed source files?

No. It collects searchable asset metadata and available previews. Obtain and use licensed source files through Adobe Stock under the appropriate license.
