OS: osx 10.12.6 Python version: 3.6.5 Issue steps: When running CLI with -l or --limit option specified, the following error is returned. Looks like we cannot locate the path the 'chromedriver' (use the '--chromedriver' argument to specify the path to the executable.) or google chrome browser is not installed on your machine executing without -l works fine.

Attempted to use json input but still returning same error. json file contents below: { "Records": [ {"keywords": "tops","limit": 1000}, {"keywords": "jacket","limit": 1000} ] }

Hello, loving this program - so useful, thanks for creating it!

I am having trouble setting it up to >100 issues. I installed via CLI and ran setup.py, so am assuming based on your instructions that Selenium is installed. I also followed the geckodriver instructions and that seems to have been successful. I'm running Linux Mint. Any support would be much appreciated!

Unfortunately all 199 could not be downloaded because some images were not downloadable. 0 is all we got for this search filter!

this pr is consist only fix for newline on table

• most diff from the actual pr are on readme file (before, after) and setup.py (before, after)
  • maybe squash the commits between https://github.com/hardikvasa/google-images-download/tree/618d1c2cf8842b7d8adaa518109f542bc90e81a8 and this pr after this pr is merged?
• pypitest result can be found here https://test.pypi.org/project/google_images_download/

changes

• setup.py
  • removing rst generation. readme file already use rst
  • add mit license to classifier
• readme
  • change readme to rst
  • removing python2/3 usage section and example: with pip installation it is already a single command
    • it also mean not using python anymore on example.
  • removing bold effect on value in argument row
  • the explanation where the image downloaded

what is left

• change author_email in setup.py
• choose one license file. either license.txt or license.md
• either give remove the example to download similar image or add that feature to program

if you want i can also upload to pypi. just reply when everything is ready.

or you can also upload it yourself to pypi

Hi Hardik and guys,

Thanks for this great tool.

I'd like to report an issue, when using non-English search word, it causes the program to throw an error and quit.

I'm not sure if this is specific to some platform or locale. Mine is Windows 10 64-bit English version.

I tried to use some Thai words and the error occurs on the print(iteration) line. Obviously this is just a status message which the program would work just fine if the line is commented out.

I learned that we're only supposed to use characters in the string.printable when outputting to console. So my solution is to replace the line with print(iteration.encode(encoding='utf-8', errors='replace')), which will replace non-printable characters with their Unicode escape sequence e.g. "\xe0\xb8\xad" which works fine for me.

But I'm not sure which is the best way to fix or which is your preferred way. So let me know if I can help.

Thanks.

While trying to download images using config file method, some images are getting corrupted. Is there anyway to remove those corrupted images after download completion.

Tried on bash for windows AND windows cmd. always cant find chromedriver.

Hi,

As mentioned in the documents, I am calling your library through another file in python. I have also set the path to chrome driver in the arguments but still I am unable to download more than 100 images. I am however able to download up to 100 images. How do I fix this situation as I need more than 100 image downloads ?

Thanks for sharing this awesome tool and thank you for reading.

while trying to download 100 images found by searching "pokemon go para ios" I get the following error: ssl.CertificateError: hostname 'assets.phonedog.com' doesn't match either of 'cloudfront.net', '*.cloudfront.net' I'm using the python 3.6 fork. Is ther anyway to bypass this??

I have seen this issue before and am not sure why i am getting it now but i understand that the problem is in the '_get_next_item' function and that the html page does not contain 'rg_meta notranslate' so it returns -1 and no links are found for the images. I dont know why this is happening. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

When downloading with the --related-images parameter, the downloader tries to create a directory with an invalid name and crashes.

For example (Windows 10, Python 3.6): python google_images_download.py -k "disc brake" -l 10 -ri

...produces: Item no.: 1 --> Item name = disc brake Evaluating... Starting Download... Completed Image ====> 1. 1200px-disk_brake_dsc03682.jpg Completed Image ====> 2. 1175-front.jpg ... Completed Image ====> 10. car-disc-brake-cluster.jpg

Getting list of related keywords...this may take a few moments

Now Downloading - disc brake - disc+brake,g_1:motorcycle:SsiXX7r2me8%3D&usg=AI4_-kQTz_e6pgr8yN7IAZTX6buWsweNYg&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjC-_Hw0f_gAhWRonEKHYzLB1kQ4lYIKCgB

OSError: [WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: 'downloads\\disc brake - disc+brake,g_1:motorcycle:SsiXX7r2me8%3D&usg=AI4_-kQTz_e6pgr8yN7IAZTX6buWsweNYg&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjC-_Hw0f_gAhWRonEKHYzLB1kQ4lYIKCgB'

The create_directories() function is trying to create a directory that contains invalid characters, or sometimes the directory path is too long.

I think the problem arises because at the end of the download() function, it calls get_all_tabs() and extracts item_name which becomes appended to the path. I can probably fix this and submit a pull request, although am a bit unsure what the desired behaviour should be, so any suggestions welcome.

I am getting the error "Looks like we cannot locate the path the 'chromedriver' (use the '--chromedriver' argument to specify the path to the executable.) or google chrome browser is not installed on your machine"

I have chromedriver located in my projectDirectory and my arguments appears below. arguments = {"chromedriver": "/Users/Documents/google-images-download", "keywords": "Polar bears", "limit": 1000, "print_urls": False} # creating list of arguments

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I want to get more than 100 images. So I try the "chromedriver".
Here is my code:

It used to work just fine a few months ago.

I want to download multiple images per keyword. I want to use 50 different keywords so I import them from a CSV file. But at some keywords, the images do not show up in the folder. But according to the log file and terminal, the images are downloaded. The strange part is that when I put in the keywords in the programme directly the images are downloaded and saved.

when i run the script and save the metadata to a json file I get a unicode \u05de\u05d3\u05d5\u05d6\u05d4 \u05d7\u05d5\u05e3 \u05d0\u05e9\u05d3\u05d5\u05d3, so I added to lines 1132-1134 json_file = open("logs/" + search_keyword[i] + ".json", "w",encoding="utf-8") json.dump(items, json_file, indent=4, sort_keys=True, ensure_ascii=False) json_file.close() but it didn't resolve the issue any suggestions?
