Introduction

Create a versatile script capable of downloading images from Google search results based on a specified search query string, such as "cute kittens." Perform resizing tasks on the downloaded images and securely store them in a PostgreSQL database. This script offers flexibility by supporting multiple programming languages, including Node.js, Go, Java, .NET, and Python, allowing you to choose the language you're most comfortable with. When using the script, provide inputs for the search query, the maximum number of images to be fetched, and essential PostgreSQL database connection details. The script's design emphasizes asynchronous programming techniques to optimize efficiency, and it comes equipped with a suite of unit tests to ensure reliability and robustness. Additionally, consider Docker containers for convenient project encapsulation and deployment.

Getting Started

Local Development

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/arfa79/image_downloader_script.git
   cd image_processing_script
   

2. install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Run the script:

   python your_script.py
   

Docker

1. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -t image_downloader_script .
   

2. Run the Docker container:

   docker run -it --rm image_downloader_script
   

Usage

Update the url_query_list in script.py with your desired image URLs and queries. Run the script as per the Getting Started instructions.

Configuration

Adjust the configurations in script.py based on your requirements:

Database connection details (CONFIG['db']).
Google API key (CONFIG['google_api_key']).
Image resize dimensions (CONFIG['image_resize_dimensions']).
Output directory for resized images (CONFIG['output_resized_images']).
