x-raw-image

[enricopal]

Hello,
I am using googleimagesdownload to get the URLs of images found on google.
I am using the CLI from within python and saving the printed URLs:

import subprocess
result = {'label': 'The Elements of Moral Philosophy', 'author': 'James Rachels'}
item_type = 'book'
out = subprocess.check_output(["googleimagesdownload", "--keywords", "\"%s %s %s\"" % (result['label'].replace(',',''), item_type, result['author']), "--print_urls", "-l", "1"])
url = out.decode('utf-8').split('\n')[4].replace('Image URL: ','') 

This works fine in general, but sometimes I get some weird results such as: x-raw-image:///c2cd85e815606ceef9f9926580a481686218ff8f1979e26816d1ba45f9eedeaa
which do not even seem to be URLs, they do not point to any image.

Does anyone have a clue where these results come from?
Thanks.
ENrico

@enricopal the above example you provided works as expected when i test it on my end (mac, python2/3). Do you see issue in the example provided? or do you see unexpected image result with a different keyword or limit? Basically i am not able to reproduce this issue on my end and additional info would help me find out if there is any edge case scenario here.
