I’m about to start the Image Search Abstraction challenge but i got a few questions about it.
Namely is it needed a api to get the images? like google images api or from a mongo database?
this because the challenge information is a little scarce.
Can anyone provide more information about that particular challenge?
thanks in advance
Hey there! I just finished mine yesterday and after some time thinking about it, I chose to use googles api. Their image search api is deprecated so you will have to look for their custom search engine api. I’ll grab some links for you.
https://developers.google.com/custom-search/json-api/v1/overview
It will tell you that you need an api key and that you need to make a custom search engine in their control panel. Just a tip if you decide to use this api: when you make your custom search engine make sure to set it to search the entire web. That gave me a ton of problems before.
thanks for the help with that challenge…i’m almost completing it. the info you provided was very usefull.
