Programmatically Search For Image

Question

So I built this fun little website for my friends and myself -- quotegen.meteor.com -- and I thought it would be cool to have it search the web (via. Google, Bing, etc) for an image corresponding to the quote and display it in the background. However, I can't find an api that will do this for me. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Edit:

What I want to do is call an api that searches for an image, then presumably returns an object with URL's and other information, and then insert the image of the first result.

Answer 1

There is google custom search which allows for image search

https://developers.google.com/custom-search/json-api/v1/overview This will allow you to do what you're looking for.
