baicizhan request stop working

Open supervik opened this issue 4 years ago • 8 comments

Describe the bug It seems that the link http://mall.baicizhan.com/ws/search?w=word is no longer available. Returns 404 page

It was the best source of English images.

BTW Thanks for the plugin

It seems that Baicizhan has closed the API without any annoucement. : (

I tracked the http messages transported in baidcizhan app, they use a binary protocol, it seems not easy to decode them.

I happened to find an image crawler capable of downloading images from bing/google/baidu/flickr etc. https://pypi.org/project/icrawler/0.1.1/

I also noticed that Youdao offers images for vocabularies and I wrote a crawler to fetch those images' links.
