· TWO REAL RESPONSES, PULLED LIVE 2026-09-05 ·
The problem

Google gives you ten images

Google’s own search API returns 10 images a call, bills per call, and shuts down on January 1, 2027. Ninety images means nine calls, nine bills, and a vendor to replace next year.

2027: Google Custom Search shuts down
What that costs youNine calls for one page. Datasets you cannot fill. A migration you did not plan for.
The fix

A live read of the Images tab does not

CrustAPI reads the Google Images page the moment you ask. About 90 images for your query, each with its source page, size and thumbnail, in one request, in 2.4 seconds.

About 90 a call, not ten The page each image lives on Width and height included Empty searches are free

You get the images. Cheaper. Fresher. Easier.

Live read : noun

We read the page the moment you ask. Not a copy from last month.

FAQ

Common questions

One request that returns Google Images results for a query as data: the image, its size, a thumbnail and the page it lives on. About 90 images a call.

Google’s Custom Search returns ten images a call, is built for a site search box, and shuts down on January 1, 2027. This returns about ninety, with the source page for each, and keeps working.

About 90 a call, in Google’s order. Set num for fewer.

2.4 seconds. That is the median on customer calls over the two weeks before this page was built. Image pages are heavier than search.

$1.00 for every 1,000 searches, with lower rates for larger individual deposits. A search that returns nothing costs nothing. $6 free every month, no card.

We read the public results Google shows anyone, logged out, and never use accounts or captcha tricks. The images belong to their owners; check the license before you use one. Public, logged-out collection has repeatedly defeated computer-fraud and contract claims. We are not lawyers.
