I know Google's powerful image search feature but it's searching images from the entire Internet.. Until recently, I discovered they apply image search to Google+ photos. That means you can search your own photos by keywords.
I'm wondering if there's any API/Lib (provided by Google) so that I can use directly... To be more specific, I'm working on Google App Engine. I know there are Image API and Search API.. I have not found Image Search API yet. And I don't know if this deprecated image search API does the job I want..
I'm really trying my luck to ask this question!

I'm using the API given here from Google, https://developers.google.com/blogger/docs/3.0/using . It allows managing the Blogger blogs easily. The problem is that the content that this API accepts is an HTML content. So, I must provide it with.

Hello, how are you doing today
...
So, to integrate an image on the post I must upload it to another image uploader service then get the URL and add it to a tag.
In contrast, if I want to upload the image directly to the Blogger UI, the image will be uploaded to Google servers.
My question is: How can I upload images to google servers as the Blogger UI do, then integrate them into my posts?
I too have been trying to work around this issue. What I did in the end is to use Google Drive API to upload the image and then get a shareable URL and embed it in the blog post.
This comes with its drawbacks, the photos are slower to load on the blog and is not accessible to crawlers. But works as far as the requirement is concerned.
If you find any way to get it done through Blogger API or through Google Photos API, please do let me know.
I am pretty new to Python. I am currently using version 3.3.2. I have an array of links to sources of streaming videos. What I want to do is sort them between HD(>720p) and non-HD(<720p) videos. I have been searching the internet, but the only closest I got to was a ffmpeg python wrapper https://code.google.com/p/pyffmpeg/.
So I wanted to know if it is even possible? If yes, can you please link me to some resources, or what keywords I should be searching on google?

The easy way to do this is to use the web service API for each site.
For example, the YouTube API lets you issue a search and get back metadata on all of the matching videos. If you look at the video, properties, you can check definition == 'hd', or you can iterate the videoStreams for the video and check whether heightPixels >= 720 or bitrateBps >= 8*1024*1024 or whatever you think is an appropriate definition for "HD" if you don't like theirs.
You can find the APIs for most sites by just googling "Foo API", but here are links for the ones you asked about:
Daily Motion
Metacafe: I can't find the API docs anymore, but it's just simple RSS feeds.
YouTube
The hard way to do this is to write a universal video downloader—which is very, very hard—and process the file with something like pyffmpeg after you download it (or, if you're lucky, after you've only downloaded part of it).
I did lots of search for Google Image Search using local image but not found any accurate answer. like what are the parameter we have to pass when upload a photo to google server. so any one know how i can use Google Image search for searching local image stored in my harddisk but using python programming. tell me if any Library or API available. Thank you in advance.
This looks like a duplicate of this question:
Google Search by Image API?
The Google Image API is deprecated but as the answerer points out, there are alternatives like tinyeye.
I want to save the first three images of a Google Images Search to my local drive.
For that, I need an API. Google has the Google Image Search API, but it seems that it's deprecated now.
Is there an alternative for it?
If not, is it against Google's TOS to parse the webpage itself?
Thanks.
You can use the Custom Search API now instead. And here's a starting point.
Hope that helps.
Does anyone know if something like this is possible? Do a quick search, using tags, for public flickr images, but without using an api ley, and retrieve images based on that search? (I already read Why do I need a flickr API key, I want to know if there are libs that can do this search without it). Or maybe give a rss for a set, and have a list/dictflickr object of the images...
Sure, seduce a developer on the Flickr dev team and get them to open a back door for you. Or use your mad hax0r skills to do the same, sans seduction.
Seriously, though, Flickr says you need an API key to use their API. So you get an API key.
Or you could scrape the entire flickr site, building up your own metadata on the site. The compute and storage budget might be excessive.
