Unsplash

Unsplash (unsplash.com). Use this skill for ANY Unsplash request — searching and reading data. Whenever a task involves Unsplash, use this skill instead of calling the API directly.

Operate Unsplash through your OOMOL-connected account. This skill calls the unsplash connector with the oo CLI; OOMOL injects credentials server-side, so you never handle raw tokens.

Category: Design & Media. Exposes 6 action(s).

Running an action

Assume the user has already installed the oo CLI, signed in, and connected Unsplash. Do not run oo auth login or open the connection URL proactively — just run the action. Fall back to First-time setup only when a command actually fails with an auth or connection error.

1. Inspect the contract to get the authoritative input/output schema before building a payload:

oo connector schema "unsplash" --action "<action_name>"

2. Run the action with a JSON payload that matches the input schema:

oo connector run "unsplash" --action "<action_name>" --data '<json>' --json

• --data takes a JSON object string or @path/to/file.json; omit it to send {}.
• The response is { "data": ..., "meta": { "executionId": "..." } }; the execution id lives under meta.executionId.

Each action below links to a reference file with its purpose and exact commands. Read the linked file, then fetch the live schema with oo connector schema before constructing --data.

Available actions

• get_photo — Fetch the detailed payload for a single Unsplash photo.
• get_random_photo — Fetch one or more random Unsplash photos using optional filters.
• get_topic_photos — List photos from a specific Unsplash topic.
• list_photos — List the latest public photos from Unsplash.
• list_topics — List topics curated by Unsplash.
• search_photos — Search photos on Unsplash using keyword and filter inputs.

Safety

• Read actions (get / list / search) are safe to run directly.
• Create, update, send, or post actions change Unsplash state — confirm the exact payload and effect with the user before running.
• Delete or remove actions are destructive — always confirm the target and get explicit approval first.

First-time setup

These are one-time steps — do not repeat them on every call. Run a step only when a command fails for the matching reason.

• oo: command not found — install the oo CLI (other platforms: https://cli.oomol.com/install-guide.md):

  curl -fsSL https://cli.oomol.com/install.sh | bash    # macOS / Linux
  

  irm https://cli.oomol.com/install.ps1 | iex           # Windows PowerShell
  

• Not signed in / authentication error — sign in to your OOMOL account once:

  oo auth login
  

• scope_missing / credential_expired / app_not_ready / app_not_found — Unsplash is not connected, or the connection expired or lacks a scope. Connect once (auth type: API key) at:

  https://console.oomol.com/app-connections?provider=unsplash
  

• HTTP 402 / OOMOL_INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT — billing stop. Recharge at https://console.oomol.com/billing/token-recharge before retrying.
