Original project: https://github.com/pevers/images-scraper
I needed a way to supplement my crowding source fruit pictures to make a dataset "large" enough to attempt to create a deep learning model in Caffe using the Intel Deep Learning SDK. This scraper helped me pull metadata of images based on the keyword. The results direction shows the various fruit terms I used. I pulled images 10 at a time to manually check the image quality and prevent as few duplicates as possible.
npm install images-scraper
Give me the first 10 images of Banana's from Google (using headless browser)
var Scraper = require ('images-scraper')
, google = new Scraper.Google();
google.list({
keyword: 'banana',
num: 10,
detail: true,
nightmare: {
show: true
}
})
.then(function (res) {
console.log('first 10 results from google', res);
}).catch(function(err) {
console.log('err', err);
});
// you can also watch on events
google.on('result', function (item) {
console.log('out', item);
});var Scraper = require ('images-scraper')
, bing = new Scraper.Bing();
bing.list({
keyword: 'banana',
num: 10,
detail: true
})
.then(function (res) {
console.log('first 10 results from bing', res);
}).catch(function(err) {
console.log('err',err);
})yahoo.list({
keyword: 'banana',
num: 10,
}).then(function (res) {
console.log('results', res);
}).catch(function (err) {
console.log('err',err);
});pics.list({
keyword: 'banana',
num: 10,
}).then(function (res) {
console.log('out',res);
}).catch(function (err) {
console.log('err',err);
});Options that can be passed to each scraper:
var options = {
// general
keyword: 'keyword', // required,
userAgent: 'G.I. Joe', // the user agent for each request to Google (default: Chrome)
num: 10, // amount of results, can be left empty but will take a lot longer
// google specific
rlimit: '10', // number of requests to Google p second, default: unlimited
timeout: 10000, // timeout when things go wrong, default: 10000
nightmare: {
// all the options for Nightmare, (show: true for example)
}
