How to use ?

Simple example

Search cats images

const test = await GOOGLE_IMG_SCRAP({
  search: 'cats'
});

console.log(test);

Reverse search engine

The second parameter is like GOOGLE_IMG_SCRAP it include all type of options omitting search. (Omit<Config, "search">)

With an url (cost: 2 request)

const test = await GOOGLE_IMG_INVERSE_ENGINE_URL(
  'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Cat_August_2010-4.jpg',
  { limit: 5 }
);

console.log(test);

With a local image (cost: 3 request)

const imageBuffer = fs.readFileSync('demonSlayer.png');
const test = await GOOGLE_IMG_INVERSE_ENGINE_UPLOAD(imageBuffer, {
  limit: 5
});

console.log(test);

Custom query

All query options are optional (see below for all the options) and need to be in uppercase. You can combine as much as you want. Find all possible query options below.

const test = await GOOGLE_IMG_SCRAP({
  search: 'cats',
  query: {
    TYPE: GOOGLE_QUERY.TYPE.CLIPART,
    LICENCE: GOOGLE_QUERY.LICENCE.COMMERCIAL_AND_OTHER,
    EXTENSION: GOOGLE_QUERY.EXTENSION.JPG
  }
});

console.log(test);

Limit result size

const test = await GOOGLE_IMG_SCRAP({
  search: 'cats',
  limit: 5
});

console.log(test);

Proxy

See axios documentation to setup the proxy

const test = await GOOGLE_IMG_SCRAP({
  search: 'cats',
  proxy: {
    protocol: 'https',
    host: 'example.com',
    port: 8080
  }
});

console.log(test);

Only scrap from a specific domain

const test = await GOOGLE_IMG_SCRAP({
  search: 'cats',
  domains: ['alamy.com', 'istockphoto.com', 'vecteezy.com']
});

console.log(test);

If you don' like black cats and white cats

const test = await GOOGLE_IMG_SCRAP({
  search: 'cats',
  excludeWords: ['black', 'white'] //If you don't like black cats and white cats
});

console.log(test);

Safe search (no nsfw)

const test = await GOOGLE_IMG_SCRAP({
  search: 'cats',
  safeSearch: false
});

console.log(test);

Custom query params

const test = await GOOGLE_IMG_SCRAP({
  search: 'cats',
  custom: 'name=content&name2=content2'
});

console.log(test);

How urlMatch and filterByTitles work ?

const test = await GOOGLE_IMG_SCRAP({
  search: 'cats',
  //will build something like this "(draw and white) or (albino and white)"
  filterByTitles: [
    ['draw', 'white'],
    ['albino', 'white']
  ],
  //will build something like this "(cdn and wikipedia) or (cdn istockphoto)"
  urlMatch: [
    ['cdn', 'wikipedia'],
    ['cdn', 'istockphoto']
  ]
});

console.log(test);
