Thanks for this! Unfortunately I get a RateLimitException trying to execute it. I am going to try again tomorrow with some delays between API calls to see if I can get it to work.
Synopsis
Setting up a Microsoft Azure account for learning purposes is distracting, especially for Chapter 2. There has to be a keyless way to get some image URL's...I was just talking about this in #648 so I wanted to share my result.
Problem
I followed all the instructions (in Fastbook and elsewhere), but I was still having trouble creating the Azure cloud resource to do the Bing Image search (deployment failure, BadRequest, Internal Server Error).
Expected Behavior
Do Chapter 2 without signing up for more things, and to minimize the distractions so the attention can be paid to learning PyTorch.
Observed Behavior
I spent more time trying to figure out Azure portal, than simply adjusting the Chapter 2 to use
DDGS
and submitting this PR! Now I can complete Chapter 2 and continue on with the book confidently.Proposed Solution
Use a
DDGS
library which requires no key, with the trade off of being limited by query volume.Content of this PR
Attached to this PR is a tested notebook which installs the referenced
DDGS
library. Then, any instances ofsearch_images_bing
is replaced withddgs.images(**query_parameters)
, I was specific with the query parameters (small, public domain, etc.)TODO
The literature in the Notebook itself may need more updating, but the code should work and the notebook should run.
