API to grab image from a search engine

Question

I will have to add a function on the site I am working on that the user will search by image name in some web search engine (this may be Google, Yahoo, Bing and so on) and the images found will be listed in a div in which he can select it and it can be used.

Is there an API or way to do this? I searched the internet but found nothing similar so far. And besides, you can do it without any problem?

Answer 1

Yes, for example, a good provider for images is Bing. It offers an API, which is paid for, but depending on the use, the cost may be worth it, for example 1000 searches for $3 per month. Follow the example documentation and references:
