does anyone know how to automaticly get the picture search results out of google?
The google api sadly supports only text research.
theres´s a technique called sraping . what's this all about and how is it done??
i've seen some internet art using the google picture search results......
i want to know how they have done that...
can anyone help please??

Thank you

Not sure how's he's doing it probably parsing the html page of the Google image search directly in the Flash.

You might want to look at Flickr, they have an API (http://www.flickr.com/services) for doing such things ...
