# Unsplash
Operate **Unsplash** through your OOMOL-connected account. This skill calls the `unsplash` connector with the [oo CLI](https://github.com/oomol-lab/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](#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:
```bash
oo connector schema "unsplash" --action "<action_name>"
```
**2. Run the action** with a JSON payload that matches the input schema:
```bash
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`](actions/get_photo.md) — Fetch the detailed payload for a single Unsplash photo.
- [`get_random_photo`](actions/get_random_photo.md) — Fetch one or more random Unsplash photos using optional filters.
- [`get_topic_photos`](actions/get_topic_photos.md) — List photos from a specific Unsplash topic.
- [`list_photos`](actions/list_photos.md) — List the latest public photos from Unsplash.
- [`list_topics`](actions/list_topics.md) — List topics curated by Unsplash.
- [`search_photos`](actions/search_photos.md) — 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>):
```bash
curl -fsSL https://cli.oomol.com/install.sh | bash # macOS / Linux
```
```powershell
irm https://cli.oomol.com/install.ps1 | iex # Windows PowerShell
```
- **Not signed in / authentication error** — sign in to your OOMOL account once:
```bash
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:
```text
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.
