Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Pixabay, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Pixabay. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Pixabay owners ask.

  • 01

    Can my AI download and directly embed high-resolution MP4 video URLs into my code?

    Yes. Instruct the agent to run a video search (search_videos). The JSON returned points mapping precisely to the highest resolution native CDN endpoints. Your AI agent can ingest these exact mp4 URI addresses and format them perfectly into `` tags inside your application mockup.

  • 02

    How can I easily discover only landscape photos related to 'urban night' containing mainly orange?

    The integration exposes distinct analytical endpoints natively. You simply prompt: 'Search Pixabay for urban night landscape containing orange'. The agent internally invokes the pixel-color mapping API (search_by_color) bounded by the (horizontal) orientation constraint to drastically minimize latency and fetch the literal perfect image.

  • 03

    Are there licensing restrictions when generating code using these results?

    No. All media assets managed by the Pixabay integration carry the pure royalty-free license. They are completely safe for commercial use, client mockups, and public deployment without explicit attribution, meaning you don't face unexpected DMCA copyright claims when your agent auto-selects dummy data.
