Google Images Results API

The Google Images Results API allows a user to scrape images from a Google Images search results page. When SerpApi encounters image results, we add them to our JSON output as the array image_results. Head to the playground for a live and interactive demo.

If you are interested in the reverse image search - head to our Reverse Image API.
