Steps
Register an application in the Adobe Developer Console to get an x-api-key value, and set a descriptive x-Product header value for every request
Call GET https://stock.adobe.io/Rest/Media/1/Search/Files with at least one search_parameters[] value, e.g. search_parameters[words]=dog+big+happy
Add filters like search_parameters[filters][orientation]=horizontal or search_parameters[filters][content_type:photo]=1 to narrow results (filters are ANDed except for content_type/template_type_id/template_category_id, which are ORed)
Control pagination with search_parameters[limit] (max 100) and search_parameters[offset], incrementing offset by limit to page through results
Add an Authorization Bearer header (obtained separately via Adobe IMS OAuth) if licensing/licensed-status information is needed in the response; omit it for anonymous browsing-only searches
Use result_columns[] to trim or expand the returned fields, e.g. result_columns[]=id&result_columns[]=title&result_columns[]=thumbnail_url
Known gotchas
Without a valid Authorization Bearer token, the search still works but never returns licensing requirements or licensed status for any asset
Requesting result_columns[] suppresses all default fields not explicitly listed, including ones normally returned automatically (marked with * in the docs), so omitting a needed field silently drops it
As of November 2024, new Adobe Stock API integrations require a Stock for Enterprise account and approval through Adobe's prerelease/affiliate programs — individual Creative Cloud plans cannot self-serve API access
