JHarris Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Hi, What's the best parameters to optimize music covers searching with Bing Images or Google Images,i'm using a radio shoutcast plugin written in python and using these parameters works but results are not perfect. Bing searchpara = title of the aired song url = 'http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=%s&FORM=HDRSC2' % quote(searchpara) Google sTitle = title of the aired song url = "http://images.google.de/images?q=%s&btnG=Bilder-Suche" % quote(sTitle) Is there any additional parameters to refine search results ? I would like to exclude big images and small images (expected < 300px and <600px) and target music covers if possible. Any advice ?

JHarris Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Thank you but it doesn't give better result than Bing or Google.Btw the goal is to get the best result from Bing or Google with the best optimized parameters in an automated way with no human intervention (plugin works alone).

debebee Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 It wont search because Africa is not an Album name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toto_IV The proper album name is IV release date 1982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to deal with a third party solution to retrieve covers from streams,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
