    Random images from Google Images

    Hello,

    I am trying to set up a page that will show a random image of something on
    a web page (e.g. cats) taken from a random Google Image.

    I can't find any sample code to do this. Can someone point me to an
    example?

    Thanks!

    Google has some really fancy API's you can use for automated queries (as
    opposed to fetching HTML data and parsing it):

      Well, after fooling around with it for about an hour I find this out:

      "The Google Web APIs service can only be used to search Google's main
      index of more than 8 billion web pages."
      Explore developer resources, community events, and inspirational stories to help you build smarter and ship faster.



      Any other ideas?
