Image Search

Parse $ARGUMENTS into flags for the bundled script and run it in one Bash call. The script handles search, download, filename generation, and Typst code output.

Flags: query (positional), --logo, --stock, --url , -d dir, -o output, -n count, --size, --type, --width, --caption "..."

Pass --typst when generating images for Typst documents (the typical case). If --output/-o is not given, omit it (script auto-generates from query + dir).

Run exactly one command:

SERPAPI_KEY="$SERPAPI_KEY" uv run --script {baseDir}/scripts/image_search.py "" --typst [other flags...]

If SERPAPIKEY is empty in this shell, read it directly from fish universal variables (avoids shell greeting pollution): ` printf '%b' "$(sed -n 's/.*SERPAPIKEY://p' ~/.config/fish/fish_variables)" `.

For --stock mode, also forward Unsplash/Pexels keys if available:

SERPAPI_KEY="$SERPAPI_KEY" UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY="$UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY" PEXELS_API_KEY="$PEXELS_API_KEY" uv run --script {baseDir}/scripts/image_search.py "" --stock --typst [other flags...]

Print the script's stdout to the user. Done.

Modes

| Mode | Flag | Behavior | |------|------|----------| | Image search (default) | none | SerpAPI -> DuckDuckGo fallback -> download best match | | Logo lookup | --logo | Logo.dev -> image search fallback | | Stock photos | --stock | Unsplash -> Pexels -> image search fallback (license-clear) | | Direct URL | --url | Download image directly from URL |

Environment

Zero API keys required — works via DuckDuckGo by default. Each key unlocks a better tier:

| Key | Purpose | |-----|---------| | SERPAPI_KEY | Google Images (best quality) | | UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY | Stock photos via Unsplash | | PEXELS_API_KEY | Stock photos via Pexels |
