[ilyazub]

To-do

• [ ] Implement Google Lens and Reverse Image search via file upload
• [ ] Document that async=1 is not available for these requests

Experimental implementation: https://github.com/serpapi/SerpApi/pull/2412

I guess this would not be limited to just Google Reverse Image. File upload should work for Google Lens as well if it goes through Google. Google Lens is our main reverse image search engine.

I had previously thought we couldn't do this due to our preference for GET over POST.

This will be immensely valuable to our customers, it is a frequently requested feature for both Google Lens API and Google Reverse Image Search.

A customer requested this feature for Yandex Reverse Image Search. I'm uncertain whether that can easily be implemented at the same time, or if it should be a separate issue.
