Google::Search::Image Returning 0 results

[ScottieR]

Over the last two days Google::Search::Image.new(:query => "anything") has been returning 0 results. I haven't touched any part of my google search code, and the results used to return perfectly. Google::Search::Web also still works. Is this specific to my app or has something happened with Google? Thanks for your help, great gem!

Google image search is deprecated now
Use your own custom search...

@ScottieR Got any workaround ?

@ScottieR @tuytoosh what's our workaround here, how do you create your own custom search?

[tuytoosh]

@ScottieR @satheshhmax I am using google text search API and I am getting images form websites that are in google first page without google image api.

@tuytoosh what do you mean by google text search API? which gem is that?

[satheshhmax]

@ScottieR @tuytoosh I implemented Google Custom Search API and fixed the image search issue. It works as expected.
