jmd_imagescraper

An image scraping library for creating deep learning datasets.

This library is for creating deep learning datasets.

It uses DuckDuckGo for the image scraping as they have return nice big images and have some rather nice parameters to make your life easier, for example we can filter the searches to only return square images which are photos.

jmd_imagescraper.core contains the main scraping/downloading functionality.
jmd_imagescraper.imagecleaner contains an image cleaner you can use from within your notebook to clean up the results and delete anything unsuitable.

Install

pip install jmd_imagescraper

from jmd_imagescraper.core import *
from pathlib import Path
