How to get image URL-s from Google image search

Question

I need a simple method that helps me search images @Google, and I can extract URL with. I only need the first 20 images, and I don't need to visualize it, only get urls. I need a short code if possible.

Answer 1

This is a general question, you should try first something by yourself, and afterwards ask again if you have any problem.

The Google Image Search API offers access through a RESTful interface, as described here , on the API reference page.

You can use a class to make the request (dunno exactly which in C #) and a JSON library to parse the results.

Answer 2

You could use a html parser like SimpleHTMLDomParser to return all links within the page.

// Create DOM from URL or file
$html = file_get_html('http://www.google.com/');

// Find all links 
foreach($html->find('a') as $element) 
       echo $element->href . '<br>';
