Currently, I'm using Google Custom Search API, to perform image searching using REST
https://developers.google.com/custom-search/json-api/v1/reference/cse/list#request
I was wondering, what is the correct way, to specific multiple file type?
fileType
is being mentioned briefly in the API document.
For instance, the following is the GET request, to search only BMP
type image.
https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=GOOGLE_API_KEY&cx=GOOGLE_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID&q=picasso&searchType=image&fileType=bmp
However, what if I want to search both PNG and BMP image?
At first, I thought
fileType=png,bmp
might work as mentioned in http://codigogenerativo.com/code/google-custom-search-api/
However, if I test using
https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=GOOGLE_API_KEY&cx=GOOGLE_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID&q=picasso&searchType=image&fileType=png,bmp
JPEG
images are being returned.
Seem like my assumption is wrong. Does anyone know how to have multiple fileType for Google Custom Search API during image searching?
p/s Similar question had been raised before few years ago but no concrete answer yet : Multiple file types search using Google Custom Search API
