After running this snippet,

from bing_images import bing

bing.download_images("cat",
                      2,
                      output_dir="/path/to/imgs",
                      pool_size=10,
                      file_type="png",
                      force_replace=True,
                      extra_query_params='&first=1')

I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'find_elements_by_class'

I tried changing find_elements_by_class("iusc") to find_elements("class", "iusc") on crawler.py as the former is deprecated, but it did not work, it resulted in new issues.

I'm using version 103.0.5060.114 of Chrome and version ChromeDriver 103.0.5060.53 of Chrome Driver. I tried with other versions unsuccesfully.

Thank you in advance.

Hello.

Looking quickly to the implementation you should be able to do this:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

# change line 27 to
image_elements = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "iusc")

# change line
smb = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "btn_seemore")

Good luck.

I can create a PR if needed.
