Use Pexels in apps and agents
Pexels offers a free API that provides access to a vast library of high-quality photos and videos, enabling seamless integration into applications and websites.
Why use Vercel Connect with Pexels?

Access for the right subject
Keep app-scoped Pexels access behind a reusable connector controlled by your team.
Centralized credential management
Manage Pexels credentials in one place and retrieve them through a consistent runtime API.
Vercel-native controls
Bind connections to the projects and environments that need them while Vercel OIDC authenticates each runtime request.
