Options

When downloading images you can pass download the next list of parameters to achieve different results:

• folder: The path where the downloaded images are saved. Default is current directory.
• max_urls: If set to a number, then only that amount of images will be downloaded. Note that the available images to download could less than max_urls. Default None, so all search results will try to be downloaded.
• thumbnails: If set to True, the image thumbnails will be downloaded instead of the actual image. This should avoid broken links, but it will also download a smaller image in most cases. Default None.
• parallel: If set to true, then N jobs will be created to download the list of images faster, the number of jobs is the number of cpu procesors on the machine. Default False.
• shuffle: If set to true, the list of images will be shuffled randomly before download. Default False.
• remove_folder: If set to true, then the folder where the images will be downloaded is deleted before the download. Default False.
