The code helped me download bunch of images from google. It used to work a few days back and now all of the sudden the code breaks.
Code :
# importing google_images_download module
from google_images_download import google_images_download
# creating object
response = google_images_download.googleimagesdownload()
search_queries = ['Apple', 'Orange', 'Grapes', 'water melon']
def downloadimages(query):
# keywords is the search query
# format is the image file format
# limit is the number of images to be downloaded
# print urs is to print the image file url
# size is the image size which can
# be specified manually ("large, medium, icon")
# aspect ratio denotes the height width ratio
# of images to download. ("tall, square, wide, panoramic")
arguments = {"keywords": query,
"format": "jpg",
"limit":4,
"print_urls":True,
"size": "medium",
"aspect_ratio": "panoramic"}
try:
response.download(arguments)
# Handling File NotFound Error
except FileNotFoundError:
arguments = {"keywords": query,
"format": "jpg",
"limit":4,
"print_urls":True,
"size": "medium"}
# Providing arguments for the searched query
try:
# Downloading the photos based
# on the given arguments
response.download(arguments)
except:
pass
# Driver Code
for query in search_queries:
downloadimages(query)
print()
Output log:

This actually create a folder but no images in it.
Indeed the issue has appeared not so long ago, there are already a bunch of similar Github issues:
Unfortunately, there is no official solution, for now, you could use the temporary solution that was provided in the discussions.
