SE::Google::Images - Google image scraper

Scraper overview

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

A-Parser functionality allows you to save Google scraper settings for future use (presets), set scraping schedules, and much more. You can use automatic query multiplication, substitution of subqueries from files, brute-forcing of alphanumeric combinations and lists to obtain the maximum possible number of results.

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

Scraper use cases

Downloading images by link

A-Parser allows using a task chain: upon completion of the first task, the second one will start, using links from the first task as queries for the second one.

Collected data

Links, anchors, and snippets of images
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 selection of search country, domain, results language, and Google interface language
Supports specifying the time of the search results
Ability to specify filters by size, color, type, and usage rights
Supports working with ReCaptcha2

Use cases

Collecting images for filling your own blogs
Collecting avatar databases

Queries

You should specify search phrases as queries, for example:

Waterfall  
Speak in english  
Cats and dogs  
cars

Query substitutions

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

forum
forum
foro
论坛

In the query format, we specify a character brute-force from a to zzzz; this method allows for maximum rotation of search results and obtaining many new unique results:

$query {az:a:zzzz}

This macro will create 475254 additional queries for each original search query, which in total will give 4 x 475254 = 1901016 search queries—an impressive figure, but no problem at all for A-Parser. At a speed of 2000 queries per minute, such a task will be processed in just 16 hours.

Output results examples

A-Parser supports flexible result formatting thanks to the built-in Template Toolkit template engine, which allows it to output results in any form, as well as in structured formats like CSV or JSON.

Default output

Result format:

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