title: Is there a Google Image Search API?
body: <p>I'm searching for an API or a program (preferably <strong>Python</strong> and open-source) which lets me download the first <strong>n</strong> pictures of a Google Image Search for let's say <strong>bicycles</strong>. It would also be helpful if it could download the first <strong>n</strong> .pdf files from a normal search. Since not all pictures and .pdf files are found on Google and since there are many other search engines, a program which could also scrape results from <strong>Yahoo</strong> or <strong>Bing</strong> would be very convenient. Are there any such programs or is there an API from Google which lets me do more than 100 searches a day?</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>edit</em></strong>: People passing by may want to look at my attempt of programming such a scraper <a href="https://github.com/stendarr/searchengine-imagescraper" rel="noreferrer">here</a></p>
