Work In Progress!
This is a small utility written in Rust to find and download images matching given keywords using the Duck Duck Go search engine.
It is generally fit for purpose except that:
- No validation is done on missing or invalid images.
- Only the first 100 search results are used currently
- There are outstanding TODO items (see below)
PRIOR ART
I heavily referenced the duckduckgo-images-api NPM package when writing this, which itself was inspired by a Python package.
Thanks to both authors for their efforts.
NOTE:
I'm writing this as an exercise in learning Rust so that should give you an idea as to the quality to expect!
TODO:
- Filter on image type if option provided
- Download specified number of images if provided
- Remove invalid images
- Better error handling
- Tests!
