Openverse is a search engine for openly-licensed media.

Openverse

Openverse is a powerful search engine for GPL-compatible images, audio, and more. Openverse is live at wp.org/openverse.

This repository does not contain most of the codebase. The code is divided into individual repositories, and managed via a GitHub Project Board:

  • Frontend | The public search engine at wp.org/openverse, built with Vue.js and Nuxt.js
  • Catalog | The Apache Airflow-powered system for downloading and storing Openverse's metadata
  • API | The Django REST API for querying the catalog data, used by the frontend
  • Browser extension | An extension to view Openverse images directly in your web browser

It is possible we will explore a monorepo structure in the future, but since all the repos are decoupled from each other and use different technologies, we've felt it best to keep them distinct.

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome! Feel free to join us on Slack and discuss the project with the engineers and community members in the #openverse channel.
