Hi @Dhivyaa-D, thanks for the answer.

When i search using google images on the web, the correct images appear. But when i use the same parameters in the google_images_download doen't works.

Code example:

In[1]:  from google_images_download import google_images_download
In[2]: response = google_images_download.googleimagesdownload()
In[3]: args = {
...     "keywords": "Lava Loucas LI14X Inox 14 Servicos 127V Electrolux",
...     "limit": 5,
...     "size": "large",
...     "no_directory": True,
...     "format": "png",
... }
In[4]: response.download(arguments)

Stdout:

Item no.: 1 --> Item name = Lava Loucas LI14X Inox 14 Servicos 127V Electrolux

Unfortunately all 5 could not be downloaded because some images were not downloadable. 0 is all we got for this search filter!

Errors: 0

Any workarounds???

Google changed something and it's breaking up for everyone, see here:
#280 (comment)

[goodenfreelance]

Is there any solution? Maybe someone knows an alternative?

[Joeclinton1]

For a solution please see: #298

The issue is "rg_meta notranslate" is not present anymore and now all data is given by a javascript callback "AF_initDataCallback".

Hi all,

Try adding the image downloader extension to your google chrome browser (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/image-downloader/cnpniohnfphhjihaiiggeabnkjhpaldj?hl=en-US)

Thanks.

It was a very useful project. Its a pity its not usable anymore.
Any new patches or update ? something more hard coding permanent wise not like installing extensions on web browsers?

#298 the solution from Ryan-T works pretty well

[greg-oz]

I am still getting errors and I suspect its a Python3/Python2 problem. I am using Python 2 and still get this using the Ryan-T version:

File "google_images_download.py", line 754, in _get_image_objects
object_decode = bytes(object_raw, "utf-8").decode("unicode_escape")
TypeError: str() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)

[greg-oz]

I have confirmed its a Python 2 problem with the code, if I run it in Python 3 it works
