My Image Fetcher Library :: CPP Google Image Fetcher

My Image Fetcher Library is a C++ library that allows you to search for images on Google and download them to your local system. It provides a simple API for querying Google's Custom Search API and saving image results.

Features

• Search for images on Google using keywords.
• Download and save images to a specified folder.
• Easily integrate image searching and downloading into your C++ applications.

Prerequisites

Before using the library, you'll need the following:

• CMake (for building the project)
• C++ Compiler (e.g., GCC)
• cURL library (for making HTTP requests)

Getting Started

Installation

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/pb2204/cpp-google-image-fetcher.git
   cd my-image-fetcher-library

2. Build the library using CMake:

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake ..
   make

Usage

1. Include the library in your C++ project:

   #include "google_image_fetcher.h"

2. Create an instance of the GoogleImageFetcher class:

   GoogleImageFetcher imageFetcher;

3. Use the fetchImages method to search and download images:

   imageFetcher.fetchImages("cat", "downloaded_images");

   This example searches for images of cats and saves them to the "downloaded_images" folder.

Example

You can find a complete example of using the library in the examples directory.
