#19390 — search google with python

Hi all,
i'ld like to make a simple program for searching images from python.
All it have to do is make a search in google images and return the link 
of the images (20 images is enough i think)

Is there any API or modules i can use?

Thanks a lot
Nico

I don't believe Google is particularly supportive of allowing
third-parties (like us) to use their search infrastructure.  All of
the search-related APIs they used to provide are slowly going away and
not being replaced, as far as I can tell.

If you just need to search images (and not Google Image Search in
particular), Bing's API appears to be supported and not about to go
away.  ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd900818.aspx )

You could, in theory, make requests to Google just like a web browser
and parse the resulting HTML, but that tends to be fragile and prone
to break.  I believe it also violates Google's Terms of Service.

    True.  The Google SOAP API disappeared years ago.  The AJAX
search widget was very restrictive, and is now on end of life
(no new users).  "Google Custom Search" only lets you search
specific sites.

    The Bing API comes with limitations on what you can do with
the results.

    The Yahoo search API went away, replaced by the Yahoo BOSS
API. Then that was replaced by a pay-per-search interface.

    Bleeko has an API, but you have to ask to use it.
