Pricing
Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.00085 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.

Questions
FAQ
How do I use the Google Images API?
Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/google/images with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.
How much does the Google Images API cost?
From $0.0008 per call, billed from your SandBase balance. You are only charged for calls you make; there is no subscription.
What parameters does the Google Images API accept?
Required: query (string). Optional: gl (string), hl (string), limit (integer), location (string), timeframe (one of 1h, 1d, 7d, 1y, all) and autocorrect (boolean). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.
What does the Google Images API return?
