Google Search Images

Returns images search results from Google based on a given search query (or many queries).

Request

Endpoint: GET https://api.outscraper.com/google-search-images

Parameters

Name	In	Type	Required	Description	Example	Constraints
`query`	query	array<string>	Yes	Queries to search on Google (e.g., `bitcoin`, `37th president of usa`). It supports batching by sending arrays with up to `1000` queries (e.g., `query=text1&query=text2&query=text3`). It allows multiple queries to be sent in one request and to save on network latency time.	-	-
`perQuery`	query	integer	No	The parameter specifies the limit of items to return from one query.	-	default 100
`uule`	query	string	No	Google UULE parameter is used to encode a place or an exact location (with latitude and longitude) into a code. By using it you can see a Google result page like someone located at the specified location.	-	-
`language`	query	string enum	No	The parameter specifies the language to use for website.	-	default en, allowed en, de, es, es-419, fr, hr, it, nl, …
`region`	query	string enum	No	The parameter specifies the country to use for website. It's recommended to use it for a better search experience.	-	allowed AF, AL, DZ, AS, AD, AO, AI, AG, …
`fields`	query	string	No	The parameter defines which fields you want to include with each item returned in the response. By default, it returns all fields. Use `&fields=query,name` to return only the specific ones.	-	-
`async`	query	boolean	Yes	The parameter defines the way you want to submit your task to Outscraper. It can be set to `false` to open an HTTP connection and keep it open until you got your results, or `true` (default) to just submit your requests to Outscraper and retrieve them later (usually within 1-3 minutes) with the Request Results endpoint. Each response is available for `4` hours after a request has been completed. A good practice is to send async requests and start checking the results after the estimated execution time. Check out this Python implementation as an example. As most of the requests take some time to be executed the `async=true` option is preferred to avoid HTTP requests timeouts.	-	default true
`ui`	query	boolean	No	The parameter defines whether a task will be executed as a UI task. This is commonly used when you want to create a regular platform task with API. Using this parameter overwrites the `async` parameter to `true`.	-	default false
`format`	query	array<string enum>	No	The parameter defines the format of the output data. Using this parameter overwrites the `ui` parameter to `true`.	-	-
`webhook`	query	string	No	The parameter defines the URL address (callback) to which Outscraper will create a POST request with a JSON body once a task/request is finished. Using this parameter overwrites the webhook from integrations.	-	-
