When calling to https://cxl-services.appspot.com/proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvision.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fimages%3Aannotate, it says Bad Request and gives Response Code 400.

I've downloaded the zip file and ran the server and all seems to be okay. But when I paste the localhost url to my browser it gives me a 404. How do I get this going?

Hi,

I've got the server successfully running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/ but when I try making a POST request, I get the following error:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

I just tried the sample request in the docs to try it out.

Any suggestions on how to get it working? Thanks!

I coudln't tell from the README what version of Python is required for this. I don't see a virtualenv in the download, and when I tried installing via what the README recommended, I got this error

localhost:mrisa-master davea$ pip install -r requirements.txt
ImportError: No module named site

Always returns an empty dictionary on any request.

{'links': [], 'descriptions': [], 'titles': [], 'similar_images': [], 'best_guess': ''}

I already have my own modified version that works, so I can supply you with it if you want to modernize this up a bit :)

I discovered some problems in the json files I created from returned data using a modified form of the 'client.py' file.
All json files begin with the letter 'b' and a single quote. Each file ends with a single quote. In between are several unicode characters and escaped characters. Examples are:
'
\
u\00a0
u\00d7
If the iinitial b and single quote are removed, along with the trailing quote, all '\' become ''
and all escaped apostrophes have the back slash removed, then the file is accepted as a json file.
Question is, can these chartacters be removed easily? I'm only vaguely familiar with python string types
and unicode, ASCII, and byte conversions. I could write a script to remove the examples, but is that all that will ever be ever found?

@vivithemage Please have a look at this extension it has yandex and baidu, tinyeye, pinterest etc.. image searches.

Can be labeled as enhancement

P.S:
I have exams now so I won't be able to create a pull request in the near future I'd happily implement these if you don't want to, after a week or two.

Fails when pushing image to docker registry.

Please see: https://github.com/vivithemage/mrisa/actions/runs/904301756

The following code is from the server script. You may want to add to the client script or do the replacements listed.
I don't know if io works with older python versions, so for dual compatibility, the 'try' code may be better. Unfortunately, there's no 'PyVer' version reconciliation module to treat compatibility issues.
Seems like a 'no brainer'.
CODE
try:
from StringIO import StringIO
except ImportError:
python3 = True
import io as bytesIOModule
END CODE

Replace :
storage = StrinIO.StrinIO()
with :
storage = io.BytesIO()
and
import io instead of StringIO
additionally
add parentheses for print statement.
The suggestion:
if possible, add the section on Google's return page, entitlesd "Pages that include matching images."
This would create the possibility of searching for larger format images, e.x. 2048x1024.

Is it possible to make that reverse image search would be made against private database of images?

I receive a ConnectionRefusedError when trying to send a POST request to the server running locally on Windows.

Not so much an issue as a question/request.
I've gotten the software running after some work.
I had to use io.BytesIO() instead of io.StringIO().
I'm using Windows 10 Pro x64 with the Debian Strtetch Linux subsystem installed with curl added on.
Everythings working, but I need to use images in my Apache htdocs directory, or some other local path.
I tried Dropbox, but direct links to files is not possible.
Any help is appreciated. I'm trying to identify over 2000 works of art extracted from a video file.

After around ~140-160 requests Bestguess will be empty for all following requests but if you wait a while (some hours) it works again, i would guess it might be a ratelimit or hidden captcha thing from google.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"image_url":"https://www.gstatic.com/tv/thumb/persons/62982/62982_v9_bb.jpg"}' http://localhost:5000/search

I'm executing the above command against the latest git master project.

it returns:
{"links": [], "descriptions": [], "titles": [], "similar_images": [], "best_guess": ""}

But if I put that into google image search it works fine.

I'm running the python example and can see that the server is indeed running and reacting to calls.

I seem to be getting errors related to json:

$ python3 mrisa.py

I'm using the docker image, although I may be messing that up.

How to troubleshoot?

Respectfully,
Can you help me?

Fix the readme

change all the links which have phanirithvij/mrisa to vivithemage/mrisa

I am having problems with the Server.py. Every time I am trying to install the requirements,

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pycurl==7.19.5

and when I want to send a request, it only returns an Error code <Response [500]>.
The Error I get in the Server

Respectfully
I have a question while using the program.
Can't I search by the image existing in the Local Driver?

Hello, I like your tool!

I see that you are scraping google results to return to the user. From what I understand any app that is doing this with a steady amount of traffic will get shut down pretty quickly by Google.

I haven't been able to find a google api to do the reverse image search for me - have you looked into that at all? I assume yes and you didn't find anything either :)

Does this tool complies with Google's Terms of Service? I'm thinking about using it in a project, looks very nice. Thanks!

I think Yandex is cool.
I am suggesting of adding an option to choose between providers (search engines)

But Yandex has no Best_Guess

{
"image_url":"IMAGE_URL",
"yandex":true,
"google":true
}

Hi @vivithemage . I'm a graphic designer and an open source enthusiast. I would like to contribute to your project by proposing a logo design. If you have an idea please share with me, it would be better for me. Thanks
