SE::Google::Images - Google Images Scraper

Overview of the scraper

The Google search results images scraper. Thanks to the SE::Google::Images scraper, you can obtain databases of image links or images ready for further use. You can use queries in the same way you enter them in the Google search bar

A-Parser's functionality allows you to save Google scraper settings for future use (presets), ), set a scraping schedule, and much more. You can use automatic query multiplication, substitution of sub-queries from files, iteration of alphanumeric combinations and lists to get the maximum possible number of results.

Saving results is possible in the form and structure you need, thanks to the powerful built-in templating engine Template Toolkit which allows you to apply additional logic to the results and output data in various formats, including JSON, SQL and CSV.

Collected data

Image links, anchors, and snippets
Links to source pages
Links to previews
Image width and height
Image types
List of tags

Capabilities

Scrapes the maximum number of results provided by Google - 10 pages with 100 elements in the SERP
Supports selecting the search country, domain, results language, and Google interface language
Supports specifying the SERP time
Ability to specify filters by size, color, type, and usage rights
Supports working with ReCaptcha2

Use cases

Collecting images to populate your blogs
Collecting avatar databases

Queries

Search phrases should be specified as queries, for example:

Waterfall  
Speak in english  
Cats and dogs  
cars

Query substitutions

You can use built-in macros to multiply queries, for example, if we want to get a very large database of forums, we can specify a few main queries in different languages:

forum
forum
foro
论坛

In the query format, we will specify character iteration from a to zzzz, , this method allows you to maximally rotate the search results and get many new unique results:

$query {az:a:zzzz}

This macro will create 475254 additional queries for each initial search query, which totals to 4 x 475254 = 1901016 search queries, an impressive number, but that's no problem for A-Parser. At a speed of 2000 queries per minute, this task will be processed in only 16 hours.

Output results options

A-Parser supports flexible result formatting thanks to the built-in templating engine Template Toolkit, which allows it to output results in an arbitrary form, as well as in a structured format, such as CSV or JSON

Default output

Result format:

$serp.format('$link\n')
