Image Searcher

A ruby wrapper for the Ababeen Image Search API v1.0 - the modest alternative to deprecated Google Image Search API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'image_searcher', '~> 0.1.5'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install image_searcher

Usage

images = ImageSearcher::Client.new.search(query: "New York")

And you've got an array of objects. By default the result has 100 nested arrays.

Available options:

query(String)
count(Integer) - maximum 100(100 by default)
format(String) - if you need a certain format or formats of images(jpg, png, etc.)

Examples:

ImageSearcher::Client.new.search(query: 'New York', count: 66)

ImageSearcher::Client.new.search(query: 'New York', format: 'jpg')

ImageSearcher::Client.new.search(query: 'New York', format: ['jpg', 'png'])

Also you can see a nice preview of a result: http://api.ababeen.com/api/images.php?q=New%York&preview=true
