在Python中，有没有一种方法可以从** Google图片**搜索结果中下载全部/部分图片文件（例如JPG / PNG）？

Question

Is there a way I can download all/some the image files (eg JPG/PNG) from a Google Images search result?

I can use the following code to download one image that I already know its url:

import urllib.request
file = "Facts.jpg" # file to be written to
url = "http://www.compassion.com/Images/Hunger-Facts.jpg"
response = urllib.request.urlopen (url)
fh = open(file, "wb") #open the file for writing
fh.write(response.read()) # read from request while writing to file

To download multiple images, it has been suggested that I define a function and use that function to repeat the task for each image url that I would like to write to disk:

def image_request(url, file):
response = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
fh = open(file, "wb") #open the file for writing
fh.write(response.read())

And then loop over a list of urls with:

for i, url in enumerate(urllist):
image_request(url, str(i) + ".jpg")

However, what I really want to do is download all/some image files (eg JPG/PNG) from my own search result from Google Images without necessarily having a list of the image urls beforehand.

PS

Please I am a complete beginner and would favour an answer that breaks down the broad steps to achieve this over one that is bogs down on specific codes. Thanks.

You can use the Google API like this, where BLUE and DOG are your search parameters:

https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/images?v=1.0&q=BLUE%20DOG

There is a developer guide about this here:

https://developers.google.com/image-search/v1/jsondevguide

You need to parse this JSON format before you can use the links directly.

Here's a start to your JSON parsing:

import json
j = json.loads('{"one" : "1", "two" : "2", "three" : "3"}')
print(j['two'])
