Google Reverse Image Search API

This is a simple API built using Node.js and Express.js that allows you to perform Google Reverse Image Search by providing an image URL. The API uses Cheerio to scrap Google's image search engine's html to get result text and similar images url.

API is currently hosted on Vercel. You can access it using this link.

Usage

To use the API, you need to make a POST request to the /reverse endpoint with a JSON payload containing the image URL. Here's an example using curl:

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://google-reverse-image-api.vercel.app/reverse" -Method Post -Headers @{"Content-Type"="application/json"} -Body '{"imageUrl": "https://fastly.picsum.photos/id/513/200/300.jpg?hmac=KcBD-M89_o9rkxWW6PS2yEfAMCfd3TH9McppOsf3GZ0"}'

The API will respond with a JSON object containing the title and link of the top matching image from Google search, if the search was successful. Here's an example response:

{
  "success" : true,
  "message" : "Successfully Got the Result",
  "data" : {
    "similarUrl" : "https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=Elderly%20person",
    "resultText" : "Results forÂElderly person"
  }
}

If there was an error during the search process, the API will respond with a JSON object containing an error field with a description of the error. Here's an example response:

{
  "success" : false,
  "message" : "Failed to find text output",
  "data" : null
}

Using the API in Python and JavaScript

To use this API in a Python project, you can use the requests library to make POST requests to the API endpoint. Here's an example:

import requests

url = "https://google-reverse-image-api.vercel.app/reverse"
data = {"imageUrl": "https://fastly.picsum.photos/id/513/200/300.jpg?hmac=KcBD-M89_o9rkxWW6PS2yEfAMCfd3TH9McppOsf3GZ0"}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)

if response.ok:
    print(response.json())
else:
    print(response.status_code)

To use the API in a JavaScript project, you can use the fetch function to make POST requests to the API endpoint. Here's an example:

const url = "https://google-reverse-image-api.vercel.app/reverse";
const data = { imageUrl: "https://fastly.picsum.photos/id/513/200/300.jpg?hmac=KcBD-M89_o9rkxWW6PS2yEfAMCfd3TH9McppOsf3GZ0" };

fetch(url, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify(data),
})
  .then((response) => {
    if (response.ok) {
      return response.json();
    } else {
      throw new Error("Could not perform reverse image search.");
    }
  })
  .then((data) => console.log(data))
  .catch((error) => console.error(error));
