The code I am using seems to have some problem some times .My code is ``` import os import sys import time from urllib import FancyURLopener import urllib2 import simplejson # Define search term searchTerm = "parrot" # Replace spaces ' ' in search term for '%20' in order to comply with request searchTerm = searchTerm.replace(' ','%20') # Start FancyURLopener with defined version class MyOpener(FancyURLopener): version = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; it; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11' myopener = MyOpener() # Set count to 0 count= 0 for i in range(0,10): # Notice that the start changes for each iteration in order to request a new set of images for each loop url = ('https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/images?' + 'v=1.0& q='+searchTerm+'&start='+str(i*10)+'&userip=MyIP') print url request = urllib2.Request(url, None, {'Referer': 'testing'}) response = urllib2.urlopen(request) # Get…

I have modified my code. Now the code can download 100 images for a given query, and images are full high resolution that is original images are being downloaded.

I am downloading the images using urllib2 & Beautiful soup

```
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
import re
import urllib2
import os
import cookielib
import json

def get_soup(url,header):
    return BeautifulSoup(urllib2.urlopen(urllib2.Request(url,headers=header)),'html.parser')

query = raw_input("query image")# you can change the query for the image  here
image_type="ActiOn"
query= query.split()
query='+'.join(query)
url="https://www.google.co.in/search?q="+query+"&source=lnms&tbm=isch"
print url
#add the directory for your image here
DIR="Pictures"
header={'User-Agent':"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/43.0.2357.134 Safari/537.36"
}
soup = get_soup(url,header)

ActualImages=[]# contains the link for Large original images, type of  image
for a in soup.find_all("div",{"class":"rg_meta"}):
    link , Type =json.loads(a.text)["ou"]  ,json.loads(a.text)["ity"]
    ActualImages.append((link,Type))

print  "there are total" , len(ActualImages),"images"

if not os.path.exists(DIR):
            os.mkdir(DIR)
DIR = os.path.join(DIR, query.split()[0])

if not os.path.exists(DIR):
            os.mkdir(DIR)
###print images
for i , (img , Type) in enumerate( ActualImages):
    try:
        req = urllib2.Request(img, headers={'User-Agent' : header})
        raw_img = urllib2.urlopen(req).read()

cntr = len([i for i in os.listdir(DIR) if image_type in i]) + 1
        print cntr
        if len(Type)==0:
            f = open(os.path.join(DIR , image_type + "_"+ str(cntr)+".jpg"), 'wb')
        else :
            f = open(os.path.join(DIR , image_type + "_"+ str(cntr)+"."+Type), 'wb')

f.write(raw_img)
        f.close()
    except Exception as e:
        print "could not load : "+img
        print e
```
