getting http error

[asultanoff]

Hi, I'm trying this code:

from google_images_search import GoogleImagesSearch
apikey = '...'
projkey = '...'

gis = GoogleImagesSearch(apikey, projkey)

_search_params = {
    'q': 'puppy',
    'num': 10,
    'safe': None,
    'fileType': None,
    'imgType': None,
    'imgSize': None,
    'imgDominantColor': None,
    'rights': None

}
gis.search(search_params = _search_params)

and getting this error:

Hi @asultanoff,

Have you tried to debug it? Like removing keys in _search_params one by one and requesting image after each param removal?

Error message says "Request contains an invalid argument", so maybe it's ab out params.

For start, remove all None params.

@arrrlo im getting the same error with: gis.search({'q': 'puppies', 'num': 3}) like in the example

Hi @bcvent,

Did you manage to solve this? if not, can you please give me a complete exception trace.

Cheers!
