Thanks! But just to be clear, it isn’t somehow searching all things under a CC license, but just things within wikimedia right?

Last time I checked, Creative Commons had their own search for things under their licenses. But now apparently that project got transferred to WordPress and is now named Openverse: https://wordpress.org/openverse/?referrer=creativecommons.or...

Anyways, I'd argue that's the most comprehensive database of CC-licensed works.

Thanks for this.

Also, I just checked that flickr.com still allows you to filter their searches by license.

This looks great. Care to share the API call used for searhing?

edit: formatting

Amazing!

I notice a slight difference between

and searching for 'cat' on canweimage.com

Is there some query processing needed?

I use these additional parameters: `&gsrlimit=25&prop=imageinfo|pageimages&iiprop=url|size`. I think it just changes how much and what type of data is returned, but maybe that could be the difference?
