Previously, the way to do that was with Google's Image Search API, but it is now deprecated and won't be around much longer. You can still use it while it lasts.

As an alternative, there is Microsoft's Bing API, with the Image SourceType.

Edit: From the link I posted above:

The Google Image Search API has been officially deprecated as of May 26, 2011. It will continue to work as per our deprecation policy, but the number of requests you may make per day may be limited.

From the deprecation policy, section 1.3:

... For a period of three years after an announcement (the "Deprecation Period"), Google will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to operate the Deprecated Version of the Service ...

So, you can expect the Google Image Search API to be around until May 26, 2014. You can enjoy it still for a couple of years.
