Can Lyro upload or save anything to Pexels?

No. All nine actions read. Get My Collections shows the collections on the connected account, but there is no action to create a collection, add an asset to one, or upload media, so Pexels stays a source rather than a destination.

Why does Lyro return a src URL rather than the photo's page link?

Because the top-level url field on a Pexels photo points at the page, not the file. Every usable rendition sits under photo.src, such as photo.src.original, photo.src.landscape, and photo.src.medium, so Lyro hands over the src link for the size you asked for.

Why does a very specific video search come back empty?

Search Videos narrows quickly when several filters stack on a tight query. Lyro loosens the filters or widens the terms and retries, and can fall back to Get Popular Videos when a brief has no hard constraints.

Whose Pexels API key do these searches run on?

The one you connect. Every search, collection read, and asset lookup is made with your Pexels API key, so the requests count against your account's own allowance and Get My Collections returns that account's collections.

How businesses use Pexels + Lyro

Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Pexels actions Lyro runs to close it.

Turn a described brief into a photo shortlist
Lyro searches Pexels on the terms and filters a request implies, falls back to the curated feed when a brief is open-ended, and opens any candidate to check its dimensions before it is recommended.

Source video without leaving the conversation
Lyro searches Pexels video by query and filters or pulls what is currently popular, then reads the duration and the available file versions for the clip that fits.

Work from a collection instead of the whole library

Hand over the credit and the correct file link
Lyro returns the photographer or videographer attribution alongside the specific rendition URL a layout needs, rather than the generic page link that breaks when someone drops it into a design.

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Pexels actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

01
Connect Pexels
Authorize the Pexels account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.
02
Tell your agent what you need
Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Pexels actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.
03
Watch it work
The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.
