Hello, I like your tool!

I see that you are scraping google results to return to the user. From what I understand any app that is doing this with a steady amount of traffic will get shut down pretty quickly by Google.

I haven't been able to find a google api to do the reverse image search for me - have you looked into that at all? I assume yes and you didn't find anything either :)

Thanks for the feedback and getting in touch. Yes, you're right if continuous automated requests are done it will likely end up being blocked. I wouldn't recommend using it in production where requests are continually made.

Yes, there does not appear to be an API for the google image search at the moment so I ended up making the tool (MRISA was just a rainy day sort of project :)).

There is an API

Google Vision API Vision API

And it is suitable for production

I did add it to mrisa and also added it in the readme.
Scroll to the bottom of readme.
