Google Image Search can search for similar images if I upload the image.
How can I make use of this feature in my web app?
Try this please, perhaps of some help.
Google API

Google had a beautiful API which you can use to search for large images, but unfortunately they decided to disable it. Now you can use their "custom search engine", but it doesn't get even close to what that old API could do. For a start, the results you get are not the same as if you search in the common search page with your browser, and you can't specify the size of the images you are searching for.
Is it there any programatically way I can get a list of the URLs of the images I would find in the common search google page, size included?
You can use scrapping the google image search results and parse the links to the images. urllib2 library in python can help you here.
I'm currently building an app that requires the photo of the selected place using google places api. I requested the photo using
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/photo?maxwidth=400&photoreference=MY_PHOTO_REF&key=API_KEY
My problem is how can i contain the response and display it in an ImageView.
Thanks in Advance
Well looks like I got it.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/photo?maxwidth=[IMAGESIZE]&photoreference=[REFERENCEKEY]&sensor=false&key=[YOURKEYHERE]
This will return a single image based from the photo_reference key.
i was working on a project where in i take photos of a particular object and i wanted that object to be recognized.So i was thinking of using google image search so that i get the name of the object
however i noticed that image search fails to name the objects i upload on the search. only similar images are displayed
can anyone suggest other possible search engines which may help?
the main reason i am resorting to google image search is that i don't want the application to be restricted to a few hundreds of images in a database
any help will be appreciated
If you upload image to Google Image Search, it will try to guess what's portrayed there (will be a Google search link right under your image).
Here's what I've uploaded (trimmed phone camera photo).
I'm trying to find out if there is a way to do google similar image searches via an API?
I know the image search api is depreciated but is it still useable?
https://developers.google.com/image-search/
Also... It seems that you can do image searches with the custom search api but I can't seem to work out if a similar image search is possible.

Any leads on advice on working this our would be appreciated.
Thanks!
If you have a URL for a hosted image (using Dropbox, imgur, etc), the answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/15134958/116891 shows you how to find similar images. Basically,
http://images.google.com/searchbyimage?image_url=YOUR_HOSTED_URL
That is deprecated.
But I need JSON format of similar images result.
So, I try to use google cse but this is not supported searching of similar images.
It's just displayed image search results in a custom domain.
Another method that i try is URL.
http://images.google.com/searchbyimage?image_url=YOUR_HOSTED_URL
But this is not solution what i need.
It is because able to use in the browser. I need JSON.
Conclude, I decide to use Vision API of Google.
This is very simple.
https://cloud.google.com/vision/
You can try on the top.
First, access the URL.
Second, upload your image file on the "Try API".
Third, click "JSON" tab menu on the result.
You can be seen JSON about similar images.
The image search API from Google has been depreciated:
https://developers.google.com/image-search/
My question is where can we now get the same data? It says it has moved to the new Custom Search API (https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview), but I cannot find where to now submit uploaded image data for the search. Can someone please explain or link me the information for this.
Our web app needs to be able to upload the image to google and check via a API where the image has been found.
Also if Google does not allow this is there any substitutes?
Thank you in advance.
you can get search result using direct link for uploaded image.
let direct link be http://i47.tinypic.com/ekepuq.png (to stream image data for search) then Make url as
"http ://images.google.com/searchbyimage?image_url=[diretlink]"
ie " http://images.google.com/searchbyimage?image_url=http://i47.tinypic.com/ekepuq.png " and can get search result for the same image.
