The biggest gripe I have with Google API search images is the licensing confusion. You think you’re safe, then bam—copyright issue.
For commercial stuff, I’ve moved to Shutterstock’s API. It’s pricier, but at least you know what you’re getting.
If you’re just prototyping, though, maybe stick with Google but set hard limits on usage. Their billing alerts are a lifesaver.
