Set up everything as documented, however search just returns an empty array. Don't bother using since this project seems to be dead anyway.

Hi, thanks for this helpful module.
I'm getting a "PassThrough is not a constructor" error from 'Webpack internal'. All I'm currently doing is testing the modules query code out to see if I can console log any image data received. I'm using the sample block of code provided.

I've attached screen-shots of the error I'm getting, the code the error refers to, and my React code.
The error could be stemming from the 'get-stream' modules 'buffer-stream.js' file since I've received a similar error from this file.

I thought it might have to do with me not having proper dependencies installed for the google-images module. I've installed and uninstalled GOT, fs, querystring, get-stream, etc modules. At this point I feel like I've exhausted all dependency combinations. No luck on Stack Overflow yet either.

Are any of your familiar with this error or can you guide me in the right direction on what could be causing it?
Thanks

Could not build App using Create-React-App. Getting the following error while building production build. Developer build is working.
Failed to minify the code from this file: ./node_modules/google-images/index.js:6

I'm trying to turn on safe search but it doesn't seem to be working. Not sure if its the format or something with the lib, either way, help would be much appreciated.

Code:

client.search(queryText,{
    	safe: 'high',
    	page: 1
    })
    .then(function (images) {

        console.log(images);
        res.json(
            images
        );

    })

Hi there!
I followed all of your set up instructions. Just curious, I'm trying to use this to get a string link to a random image from a google search query from the first page of the results. Just curious if you have any tips on how to access this once the search is made. Thanks!

In the example and test, the size parameter (i.e. 'large') should be capitalized ('Large').

I tried everything like

 const GoogleImages = require('google-images');
 window.GoogleImages = require('google-images');
 import GoogleImages from 'google-images';

Nothing works. I get the error:

 ERROR in ./node_modules/google-images/node_modules/got/index.js

The bug
Just letting you know that you're using setImmediate in got/index.js, which throws the following error: ReferenceError: setImmediate is not defined

setImmediate() is a non-standard API and shouldn't be used in frontend code.

How to fix
Simply just exchanging it with setTimeout(func, 0);

For users in the interim
Users can get around this by adding the following within your html :

<script>
  const setImmediate = (func)=>{setTimeout(func,0001)};
</script>

It was a sequence of requests, then pause, then again and after ~hour of idle, it has appeared.
The trouble is that it's fatal. I'd like to add try blocks, but I cannot easily figure it out.
Hope, you'll help, but I'm going to struggle it anyway.

My CSE_ID contains a % among many numbers, like 09184%3A. This gets changed into URL format into %25, which is how it's logged into the console for the error message, saying that there is a 400 HTTP error, and when I copy the url from the console and use it in the browser, the same happens. If I change the %25 for % in the address, it resolves into the proper image search successfully. I'm going to try to fix this myself on my end, but I think that it would be good if the project code had a fix for it too.

For illustation purposes, I'll leave the JSON response for the error, which is very vague:

{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "global",
    "reason": "invalid",
    "message": "Invalid Value"
   }
  ],
  "code": 400,
  "message": "Invalid Value"
 }
}

(it is explained online that this is may be caused by authentication errors, which is the verfied case here)

I was using this package successfully earlier this year. And now I've started using it again (with the same app and with no changes to the code) but it seems to have stopped returning images.

I'm running this script:

googleSearch.search( 'query', function ( err, images ) {
    ...
});

But images is always returned as an empty array and err is returned as false. Is it still working for anyone else? I can't think why it would have just stopped.

I've updated the package to the latest version: 0.1.4

Not sure which way this library is learning, but you can get a hard scrape of the google images with the follow script. This means that it will visit the images homepage and scrape for images from there.

The script is short and can be found here. https://github.com/bluejamesbond/cs373-idb/blob/gh-pages/scripts/google/images.js (made for educational purposes)

It would be interesting to see you have two options: (1) the rest protocol and the (2) hard scrape format. The hard scrape if used correctly (as to not trigger the google scrape detector) will allow you to get unlimited images.

Getting 500 with both API key and cx provided both on this and on Google Test :-

https://developers.google.com/custom-search/json-api/v1/reference/cse/list

If the query contains characters used by google search like '-', the module throw a TypeError

TypeError: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined
    at Client._buildResponse (E:\Dev\MisterGoodNews\AuthorBot\mgn-authorbot\node_modules\google-images\index.js:60:23)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:103:7)

Maybe we could delete this character from the string in the search function ?

I'll create a pull request with the workaround :)

I performed a search with the name of a novel as my query, and the first result was a pornographic image. When I manually enter this search query on Google images, I do not see this pornographic image anywhere in the search results. This is not a 'safe search' related issue.

How are the results being selected?
What determines the order of the results?

Ideally, I would like for the results to be the same as those which are visible when manually searching Google Images...

When there is an error (i.e., I was over my quota for searches) it is not reported to the console.

The 'got' call should look more like this:

got('todomvc.com')
    .then(response => {
        console.log(response.body);
        //=> '<!doctype html> ...' 
    })
    .catch(error => {
        console.log(error.response.body);
        //=> 'Internal server error ...' 
    });

hi vadimdemedes, thanks for this great work~
I encounter some problems when using your code. I couldn't install google-images any way, i have tried countless way provided by google, but it didn't work. Is there any key point about this topic？
