Search Google Images
The Search Google Images block queries Google Images and returns a list of image results, each containing URLs, dimensions, source information, and position data.
Search Google Images and return URLs with metadata
The Search Google Images block queries Google Images and returns a list of image results, each containing URLs, dimensions, source information, and position data. The primary input is a search query string, and results are stored in a variable of your choice in either text or JSON format. You can configure the number of results returned — anywhere from 1 to 100, with a default of 30 — and optionally filter by country code, language code, or a date range spanning from the last hour up to the last year.
Each result in the output includes the image's direct URL, its width and height in pixels, a thumbnail URL with its own dimensions, the page title, the source domain, the originating page link, a Google-specific URL, and the result's position in the list. This structured output makes it straightforward to pass image data downstream to other blocks in a workflow.
This block fits into workflows that need to programmatically gather visual content references, such as collecting product images, researching visual trends, building image galleries, or feeding image URLs into AI analysis steps. Because results can be scoped by language and region, it also works well in workflows targeting specific geographic markets or non-English content.

What is the only required parameter for this block?
The only required parameter is the search query string, which defines what Google Images will be searched for. All other fields — destination variable, export format, country code, language code, date range, and number of results — are optional.
What does the block return for each image result?
Each result includes a title, direct image URL, image width and height, thumbnail URL, thumbnail width and height, source name, domain, originating page link, a Google-specific URL, and the result's position in the list.
How many results can the block return, and what is the default?
You can specify between 1 and 100 results using the numResults parameter. If left unset, the block defaults to returning 30 results.
Can I filter results by time period or region?
Yes. The dateRange parameter accepts values of hour, day, week, month, or year to limit results by recency. You can also set a countryCode using a valid Google gl value and a languageCode using a valid Google hl value to target specific regions and languages. All three default to no restriction if left unset.
What kinds of workflows is this block commonly used in?
This block is used in workflows that need to collect image URLs and metadata programmatically, such as visual research pipelines, AI image analysis flows, content aggregation tools, and region-specific media discovery workflows.
