Openverse Scraper

Searches openly licensed images through the public Openverse API and returns the license, creator and ready-made attribution line for each result. No login, no proxy, no browser.

Input

Field	Type	Notes
`query`	string	Required. Free-text image search. Default `mountain`.
`license`	string	Comma-separated license codes, e.g. `cc0,pdm,by`. Omit for every open license.
`maxItems`	integer	Cap on images returned. Default `20`.

Output

One row per image: id, title, creator, creatorUrl, license, licenseCode, licenseUrl, attribution, provider, source, url, thumbnail, foreignLandingUrl, width, height, filetype.

Notes

Every result carries attribution, the credit line Openverse composes for you. If you reuse these images, that is the string to publish — the point of this Actor is the licensing metadata, not just the image URL.
license is rendered readably (CC BY-SA 2.0) while licenseCode keeps the raw upstream value (by-sa) for filtering. CC0 and the Public Domain Mark are deliberately not prefixed with "CC", since CC CC0 reads wrong.
Openly licensed does not mean unconditionally reusable: by requires credit and by-sa requires share-alike. Filter with license if you need a specific set of terms.
