Error message

\n\n##### {cfg_key} is not set #####\n\nPlease set it in the config.toml file: {config.config_file}\n

What it means

Raised by get_api_key() in app/services/material.py when config.app.get(cfg_key) (e.g. 'pexels_api_keys' or 'pixabay_api_keys') is falsy. It is a pure configuration guard before any request: no stock-footage API key is configured, so material search/download cannot proceed. The message embeds the config.toml path for immediate action.

Solutions

  1. Open the config.toml file shown in the message and add the missing key, e.g. pexels_api_keys = ["YOUR_KEY"] under [app]
  2. Get the key from the matching provider (Pexels/Pixabay developer portal) — both are free
  3. Support a list for round-robin: pexels_api_keys = ["key1", "key2"] rotates via _api_key_counter
  4. Validate config.toml parses (correct section header [app], no TOML syntax errors) after editing

Example fix

# before (config.toml)
[app]
# pexels_api_keys missing -> ValueError: ##### pexels_api_keys is not set #####

# after
[app]
pexels_api_keys = ["xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]
pixabay_api_keys = ["yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"]
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

from app.config import config

def has_api_key(cfg_key: str) -> bool:
    return bool(config.app.get(cfg_key))

assert has_api_key('pexels_api_keys') or has_api_key('pixabay_api_keys'), \
    'configure at least one stock-footage key'

Try / catch

except ValueError as e: if 'is not set' in str(e): non-retryable — prompt the user to edit config.toml at the path embedded in the message

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Calling material search/subscribe functions with neither [app].pexels_api_keys nor pixabay_api_keys (whichever cfg_key is requested) set in config.toml — empty section, key commented out, or WebUI saved empty value.

Common situations: Fresh install without completing config.toml; user only configured llm_provider and video-source keys but forgot the material stock keys; renamed/misplaced keys (key must match cfg_key exactly, e.g. plural 'pexels_api_keys'); config.toml syntax error making the section unparseable so .get returns None.
