Stopped Grabbing Results

[barbar-binks]

First of all, thanks for this amazing tool.

About a week ago, we stopped grabbing images from Google, it seems that something changed in the query that has to be sent, have you experienced anything?

It's still working for me.

[numairawan]

Updated and the image array is still showing up empty, is there any way of checking the response from Google? maybe there is something i need to change on my side.

i checked again and it's working fine for me. Can you show me your code?

[barbar-binks]

yes, a simple search as the example shows as empty:

public function handle() { $keyword = $this->argument("keyword"); $images = GoogleImageGrabber::grab($keyword); print_r($images); return 0; }

Your code is working fine for me i think you are not passing the keywords correctly. Try below code code.

public function handle()
{
    $keyword = $this->argument("keyword");

    if (!empty($keyword)) {
        return \Buchin\GoogleImageGrabber\GoogleImageGrabber::grab($keyword);   
    } 

    return false;
}

public function handle()
{
    $keyword = $this->argument("keyword");

    if (!empty($keyword)) {
        return \Buchin\GoogleImageGrabber\GoogleImageGrabber::grab($keyword);   
    } 

    return false;
}

thank you, i changed it up a bit because this test is a laravel command. I printed the result using this code and using the argument "apple":

` public function handle() { $keyword = $this->argument("keyword"); if (!empty($keyword)) { print_r("your keyword was " . $keyword . "\n"); print_r(\Buchin\GoogleImageGrabber\GoogleImageGrabber::grab($keyword)); return true; } print_r("your keyword was: " . $keyword . "\n"); return false; }

`

got this response:

your keyword was apple Array ( )

Go to your vendor folder and in "/buchin/google-image-grabber/src/GoogleImageGrabber.php" show me the code from line 109 to 167.

I told you to update the repo to latest version. run composer update from your terminal to update it to latest.

I am sorry, i suppose the update didn't go through, below you'll see what the composer.lock file has:

` { "name": "buchin/google-image-grabber", "version": "1.0.3", "source": { "type": "git", "url": "https://github.com/buchin/google-image-grabber.git", "reference": "1e257f1b0aeaa17f9f4ea89d60f2e3f7707cb37f" }, "dist": { "type": "zip", "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/buchin/google-image-grabber/zipball/1e257f1b0aeaa17f9f4ea89d60f2e3f7707cb37f", "reference": "1e257f1b0aeaa17f9f4ea89d60f2e3f7707cb37f", "shasum": "" }, "require": { "campo/random-user-agent": "^1.2", "maciejczyzewski/bottomline": "^0.0.9" }, "require-dev": { "kahlan/kahlan": "dev-master" }, "type": "library", "autoload": { "psr-4": { "Buchin\GoogleImageGrabber\": "src/" } }, "notification-url": "https://packagist.org/downloads/", "license": [ "MIT" ], "authors": [ { "name": "Mochammad Masbuchin", "email": "buchin@dropsugar.com" } ], "description": "Scrape google images", "support": { "issues": "https://github.com/buchin/google-image-grabber/issues", "source": "https://github.com/buchin/google-image-grabber/tree/1.0.3" }, "time": "2021-10-06T03:28:39+00:00" }

As i said run composer update and it will update everything including this repo. If its still not work then clear your composer cache using command composer clear-cache or download this repo manually and replace your vendor GoogleImageGrabber.php with the one you downloaded.

thank you, i did run composer update a bunch of times, even before continuing with the thread, also clearing the cache. I ended up doing the replacing of the GoogleImageGrabber.php manually.

it is working now, I appreciate the great work.

Add on Composer JSON this:

`"require-dev": { ... "campo/random-user-agent": "^1.2", "maciejczyzewski/bottomline": "^0.0.9" }

"require-dev": { .... "kahlan/kahlan": "dev-master" }`

Later remplace content of GoogleImageGrabber.php with the github content.

Work for me.
