Is the Google Image Search API Still Available? Best Alternatives? or How Can I Use the Google Image

Google image search api is basically gone unless you’re willing to pay $$$ or jump through insane hoops.

Alternatives?
- Bing Image Search API (free tier available)
- SerpAPI (paid but reliable)
- You could try scraping with BeautifulSoup or Puppeteer, but that’s against ToS, so… risky.

Why does Google do this? Money and control, lol.
