Stopped Grabbing Results

[barbar-binks]

First of all, thanks for this amazing tool.

About a week ago, we stopped grabbing images from Google, it seems that something changed in the query that has to be sent, have you experienced anything?

It's still working for me.

[numairawan]

Updated and the image array is still showing up empty, is there any way of checking the response from Google? maybe there is something i need to change on my side.

[numairawan]

i checked again and it's working fine for me. Can you show me your code?

[barbar-binks]

i checked again and it's working fine for me. Can you show me your code?

yes, a simple search as the example shows as empty:

public function handle() { $keyword = $this->argument("keyword"); $images = GoogleImageGrabber::grab($keyword); print_r($images); return 0; }

Your code is working fine for me i think you are not passing the keywords correctly. Try below code code.

public function handle()
{
    $keyword = $this->argument("keyword");
    
    if (!empty($keyword)) {
        return \Buchin\GoogleImageGrabber\GoogleImageGrabber::grab($keyword);   
    } 
    
    return false;
}

public function handle()
{
    $keyword = $this->argument("keyword");
    
    if (!empty($keyword)) {
        return \Buchin\GoogleImageGrabber\GoogleImageGrabber::grab($keyword);   
    } 
    
    return false;
}

thank you, i changed it up a bit because this test is a laravel command. I printed the result using this code and using the argument "apple":

`
public function handle()
{
$keyword = $this->argument("keyword");
if (!empty($keyword)) {
print_r("your keyword was " . $keyword . "\n");
print_r(\Buchin\GoogleImageGrabber\GoogleImageGrabber::grab($keyword));
return true;
}
print_r("your keyword was: " . $keyword . "\n");
return false;
}

`

got this response:

your keyword was apple Array ( )

[numairawan]

Go to your vendor folder and in "/buchin/google-image-grabber/src/GoogleImageGrabber.php" show me the code from line 109 to 167.

As i said run composer update and it will update everything including this repo. If its still not work then clear your composer cache using command composer clear-cache or download this repo manually and replace your vendor GoogleImageGrabber.php with the one you downloaded.

thank you, i did run composer update a bunch of times, even before continuing with the thread, also clearing the cache. I ended up doing the replacing of the GoogleImageGrabber.php manually.

it is working now, I appreciate the great work.

[cristophermr]

Add on Composer JSON this:

`"require-dev": {
...
"campo/random-user-agent": "^1.2",
"maciejczyzewski/bottomline": "^0.0.9"
}

"require-dev": {
....
"kahlan/kahlan": "dev-master"
}`

Later remplace content of GoogleImageGrabber.php with the github content.

Work for me.
