Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Storyblocks stock media API?
The Storyblocks API (application programming interface) gives 3rd party platforms streamlined access to our data and content. Our API makes it easy to integrate our massive video, image, and audio libraries into your application. Developers can access our content to build a wide variety of tools and apps.
The possibilities are endless! We provide access to our content through dozens of platforms, including media editing, digital marketing, website building, telestreaming, presentation building, eLearning, and content creation.

We offer a free trial of the API for you to test out. The trial provides access to test API keys for our image, video, and audio libraries. Search queries are unlimited, and we include five free downloads for each content type to give you a sense of the full functionality.

Take our API for a test drive here.

When you’re ready, contact us to trade in your test keys for a fully functional integration.

You’ll get production API access to our full library of 8M+ human-created video, audio, and image assets. Every download comes fully licensed, so your users are covered from day one. You’ll also have a dedicated Customer Success Manager for technical support and strategy to keep your product growing.

You can test our API for free, but full functionality comes once you are a Storyblocks API client. Cost varies depending on your use case.
