Image Search module integrates Google Images
Added 2022-09-24 21:07:18 +0000 UTCI am pleased to announce that the new version of moulinette-imagesearch (version 10.1.0+) now officially supports Google Custom Search API (v1).
Why do I need Moulinette Image Search ?
During a game session, it probably happens that you spontaneously want to show an image to your players (monster, scene, landscape, etc.). If you didn't prepare it for your game session, you'll have to search on your favorite search engine, download the image, upload it to FoundryVTT and create an article.
Moulinette lets you search on Google, Bing or Openverse and immediately create an article from one of the result. It will save you precious time and will make your players believe that you had already prepared everything, like a pro :-)
You can also use the images for other purposes, anywhere in FoundryVTT.
Is it free to use ?
Yes. You don't need to support Moulinette to use it.
Search Engine limitations :
- Google Search : 100* search queries per day for free (see pricing)
(requires a Google Cloud account) - Bing Search : 1000 search queries per month for free (see pricing)
(requires an Microsoft Azure account) - Openverse : 100 requests per day
(*) Because Google Search API is limited to 10 results, Moulinette executes 3 requests (to fetch 30 results) every time. This means that you only get 33 search queries per day for free.
How to configure it ?

The documentation is here : https://github.com/SvenWerlen/moulinette-imagesearch . You need to create an Google Cloud account and configure a Custom Search. Then copy some IDs into the Moulinette Configuration. It's not very easy to setup but it's worth it.
