Reference for downloading images using the Duckduckgo function has been added.

Open RJSD3V opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Since a lot of users face issues using the Azure Bing Image Search Service, I have looked into the fastbook references itself and added the reference for using the duckduckgo api function search_images_ddg for downloading images which is used similarly to the bing image search function (i.e. search_images_bing ) where neither an azure account or a key is required.

I'm not sure, but should the BING search references be deleted?

DDG one has been added as an additional reference. I think we should leave up the bing code for long term support for programmers using bing code.

I think it makes sense to do the reverse. I experienced some friction working through the notebook after watching the video which uses search_images_ddg in place of search_images_bing.
