@obulat had mentioned we have some of this data in Openverse already, possibly via commoncrawl? Example: https://wordpress.org/openverse/search/image/?q=Cat&source=geographorguk

But given that they have an API, it would be great to add an ingester for it!

Yes! And they even have tsv dumps if we wanted to go the SQL route.

I didn't notice that we do not ingest the new data from Geograph. It is an amazing source! It would be great to add the TSV loaders for the UK and the German versions.
