Search and download first google image search result

Hello everybody,

Im working on an inventory app for an orchid reserve in Mexico.

I have a list of orchid species, but am missing a picture for each of the species.

is there a way to set up an action to download an image from google image search results into my app?

can anyone think of another way of achieving this, so I don’t have to go download manually each of the species image and then upload again to my app?

Thanks!

You don’t really “upload” an image to your app. Images are saved as links, so you can just add the public URL of the desired image in your database and it will display correctly in your app.
