Is there a way to use the Google search by Image feature in Python? I was considering taking an image file from a specified location and using that file to get relevant search results. I have looked through the Google Custom Search API and cannot seem to find anything on this topic. Any help would be appreciated.
The following code snippet shows how to make a request to the Google Image Search API using Python. This sample assumes Python 2.4 or higher. You may need to download and install simplejson.
import urllib2
import simplejson
url = ('https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/images?' +
'v=1.0&q=barack%20obama&userip=INSERT-USER-IP')
request = urllib2.Request(url, None, {'Referer': /* Enter the URL of your site here */})
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
# Process the JSON string.
results = simplejson.load(response)
# now have some fun with the results...
