TinEye Image Search Bot

TinEye Image Search Bot is a Python script that leverages Selenium to automate image searches on TinEye. Designed for efficiency and anonymity, the bot uploads images, scrapes search results, and utilizes proxies to maintain privacy during bulk or automated reverse image search tasks.

Features

• Automated Image Upload: Seamlessly upload images to TinEye for reverse image searching.
• Result Scraping: Extract and store search results for further analysis.
• Proxy Support: Utilize proxies to mask IP addresses and enhance anonymity.
• Bulk Processing: Handle multiple image searches efficiently in automated scenarios.
• Image Management: Automatically delete images after processing to maintain a clean workspace.

Prerequisites

Before setting up the TinEye Image Search Bot, ensure you have the following installed:

• Python: Version 3.6 or higher.
• Google Chrome: Latest version recommended.
• Git: For cloning the repository.
• Proxies: A list of working proxies in the format IP:PORT:USER:PASS (optional for anonymity).

Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Student-FastDev/Tineye-Scraper
   cd Tineye-Scraper

2. Install Required Packages:

   Install the necessary Python packages using pip:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set Up WebDriver:

   Ensure that the Chrome WebDriver version matches your installed Google Chrome version. You can download the appropriate WebDriver from here.

   • Add WebDriver to PATH:

     Place the downloaded chromedriver executable in a directory that's included in your system's PATH, or specify its location in the script if necessary.

Usage

Running the Script

Execute the script from the command line, specifying the image file you wish to search:

python tineyes.py [image_file_name]

Example:

python tineyes.py sample_image.jpg

Configuration

1. Proxy Configuration:

   If you wish to use proxies for enhanced anonymity, edit the proxy.txt file to include your proxies in the following format:

   IP:PORT:USER:PASS
   

   Example:

   192.168.1.100:8080:username:password
   203.0.113.50:3128:proxyuser:proxypass
   

   The script randomly selects a proxy from this file for each session, ensuring varied IP addresses for different scraping tasks.

2. Image Management:

   After processing, the script automatically deletes the image file to maintain a clean directory. Ensure that the image file you want to search is located in the same directory as the script or provide the correct path.

Notes

• Asynchronous Efficiency: While the current version uses Selenium for automation, future updates may incorporate asynchronous programming to handle multiple searches concurrently, further enhancing efficiency.

• Proxy Reliability: Using high-quality and reliable proxies is crucial to prevent IP bans and ensure smooth operation.

• Security: Handle your proxy information securely to prevent unauthorized access.

• Compliance: Ensure that your usage of the bot complies with TinEye's Terms of Service to avoid potential legal issues.
