What people build with the Google Images API

Find where an image lives

Get the source page for each image, so an agent can read the page or credit the site.

Visual research

Collect the top images for a product, place or topic, with their sizes, in one call.

Pick by size and shape

Width, height, megapixels and orientation come back with every result, ready to filter.

Quote it, then run it

1. free quote: the exact price, nothing charged

curl -X POST https://apiforagents.dev/v1/google \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AFA_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"op":"images","query":"Eiffel Tower at night","limit":20,"estimateOnly":true}'

2. the same call, run

curl -X POST https://apiforagents.dev/v1/google \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AFA_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"op":"images","query":"Eiffel Tower at night","limit":20}'

Inputs

Everything you can send in one images call. Required inputs first.

Input	Type	What it does
query *	string	≤300 chars
limit	integer	1-100

What comes back

The fields of every row, always present. Nothing is guessed: a value that could not be measured is null, and the answer's coverage says why.

Show all 11 rows

Field	Type
imageUrl	string
title	string
sourceDomain	string
sourcePageUrl	string
thumbnailUrl	string
imageType	string
imageWidth	integer
imageHeight	integer
megapixels	number
orientation	string
details	object

details is always the last field: everything else the source sent for that row, under our own field names. Its keys depend on the source that answered, so read them defensively; it is {} when there is nothing more.

A sample answer

Made-up names and values in the real field names, so you can see the shape before you spend anything.

title	sourceDomain	imageType	imageWidth	imageHeight	megapixels
Minimal home office setup	northfold.example	photo	1600	1067	1.7
Home office with plants	interiors.example	photo	1080	1350	1.5
Standing desk in a small room	desks.example	photo	2048	2048	4.2

Pricing

Pay as you go, in US dollars, per record. No subscription, nothing expires, $5 first top-up, and every new agent starts with $0.10 free.

Request	Records	At the list price
One image	1	$0.0009
10 images	10	$0.009
A full page	100	$0.09

These are per-record list prices. Some calls also carry a minimum, such as a page of search results, so a small request can cost more than the table shows. The quote ("estimateOnly": true) is free, gives the most your exact request can cost, and the charge then settles to what came back. Records that do not come back are refunded.

Try it without writing code

Open the Google Images API in the playgroundThe playground runs any endpoint by hand: pick a platform and what you want from it, fill a short form named in plain words (or press Use sample input), see the free quote on the Run button, run it, then read the answer as a table or JSON and download it as CSV or JSON. The same call is written out as cURL, Python and Node while you type.

Why this one, and not a scraper you run yourself

No login, no Google account, no cookies, no proxies, no browser to babysit.
When the site changes its pages, your request stays the same: keeping the reads working is our job, not yours.
A fetch that fails costs nothing: it is named in the answer with a reason, and the quote says the most a call can cost before it runs.

Use it from your tools

Questions people ask.

What does the Google Images API return?

One row per image: title, source domain, image type, width, height, megapixels, orientation, image URL, source page URL and thumbnail URL.

What do I pass in?

A query of up to 300 characters and a limit of up to a hundred images.

How much does it cost?

$0.0009 per image at the list price. A small call can carry a minimum, so quote first with "estimateOnly": true: the quote is free and is the most the call can cost. You pay for what comes back.

Why people pick API for Agents

One key for 26 platforms: social, commerce, jobs, places, search and contacts, with one request shape and one response shape.
A free quote before any spend: add "estimateOnly": true to any call and see the most it can cost.
Pay per record in US dollars. No subscription, nothing expires, top-ups from $5.
$0.10 free to try, no card. An AI agent can sign itself up in one request; a person claims it later.
Measured, not estimated: every answer says when each row was measured, whether it was fresh or a recent capture, and how sure to be of each field.
Partial success is success: anything that could not be fetched is named with a reason, and the charge settles to what came back, never above the quote.
Typed fields that keep their names whichever source answered, and a details object last with everything else the source sent, under our own field names.
Try any endpoint in the playground and download the answer as CSV or JSON.
