# My Image Fetcher Library :: CPP Google Image Fetcher
My Image Fetcher Library is a C++ library that allows you to search for images on Google and download them to your local system. It provides a simple API for querying Google's Custom Search API and saving image results.
## Features
- Search for images on Google using keywords.
- Download and save images to a specified folder.
- Easily integrate image searching and downloading into your C++ applications.
## Prerequisites
Before using the library, you'll need the following:
- CMake (for building the project)
- C++ Compiler (e.g., GCC)
- cURL library (for making HTTP requests)
## Getting Started
### Installation
1. Clone this repository to your local machine:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/pb2204/cpp-google-image-fetcher.git
cd my-image-fetcher-library
```
2. Build the library using CMake:
```shell
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
```
### Usage
1. Include the library in your C++ project:
```cpp
#include "google_image_fetcher.h"
```
2. Create an instance of the `GoogleImageFetcher` class:
```cpp
GoogleImageFetcher imageFetcher;
```
3. Use the `fetchImages` method to search and download images:
```cpp
imageFetcher.fetchImages("cat", "downloaded_images");
```
This example searches for images of cats and saves them to the "downloaded_images" folder.
## Example
You can find a complete example of using the library in the [examples](/examples) directory.
