How to scrape Google lens visual matches?

  Scraping Google Lens visual matches  directly is highly discouraged due to legal, ethical, and technical challenges. Google Lens operates through dynamic JavaScript and private APIs, making automated scraping complex and unreliable. Additionally, Google’s Terms of Service prohibit automated access, and their systems actively detect and block bots. A safer alternative is using reverse image search APIs like  Webscrapinghq , which legally provides Google Lens results for a fee. You send an image URL and get structured results. For custom solutions, use machine learning models like  OpenAI’s CLIP  to extract image features and tools like  FAISS  for similarity search on your own dataset. These approaches are scalable, legal, and customizable. Attempting to scrape Lens directly via tools like Selenium or Puppeteer risks IP bans, CAPTCHA loops, and ethical violations. Stick to approved APIs or build your own visual search engine for a sustainable solution...
