                   Every thread will randomly choose one from the list.

Full Resolution Mode

You can download full resolution image of JPG, GIF, PNG files by specifying --full true

Data Imbalance Detection

Detects data imbalance based on number of files.

When crawling ends, the message show you what directory has under 50% of average files.

I recommend you to remove those directories and re-download.

Remote crawling through SSH on your server

sudo apt-get install xvfb <- This is virtual display

sudo apt-get install screen <- This will allow you to close SSH terminal while running.

screen -S s1

Xvfb :99 -ac & DISPLAY=:99 python3 main.py

Customize

You can make your own crawler by changing collect_links.py

Issues

As google site consistently changes, please make issues if it doesn't work.

Notes

Google XPath element can be changed sometimes, please check it before run. For instance, the line of code in collect_links.py:

photo_grid_boxes = self.browser.find_elements(By.XPATH, '//div[@class="isv-r PNCib ViTmJb BUooTd"]')
