Image scraping methods

[lukaskf]

I’ve been using this python package to scrape images from Bing using a script like this

from bing_image_downloader import downloader
downloader.download(
"Black Lab", #Query String
limit=100,
output_dir='black_lab_dataset',
adult_filter_off=False,
force_replace=False,
timeout=60,
)`

installed using pip install bing-image-downloader==1.0.4

Is there a better way to scrape images?

I’ve seen these Google Images scrapers recommended before, but looks like they haven’t been updated in a while, so not sure if they’re still functional:
