Oh, cool. They have a search API. I'll plan to add this as a source to canweimage.com.

- nessunodoro 7y agoOT- Neat, have you considered incorporating non-Wikimedia Commons images in your public domain-only search? Flickr in particular has a surprising amount of quality highres images that the authors have released into the PD.
- zozbot234 7y ago> Flickr in particular has a surprising amount of quality highres images that the authors have released into the PD. Arguably, such images should be mirrored onto Commons ASAP (if they plausibly have educational value and are PD in most of the world). It is unwise to rely on a single profit-oriented company like Flickr to keep hosting this sort of stuff for the foreseeable future, whereas Commons is independently supported and specifically intended as a host for permissively-licensed media content.
- carlinmack 7y agothere are bots that patrol Twitter, upload permissive content with the correct attribution and link back to the source. See more here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Flickr2Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Flickr2Commons
- projproj 7y agoI hadn't looked into any other image sources. I'll check out Flickr too though.
- karateka 7y agoThis is awesome, thanks for building it
- fsflyer 7y agoNice project. One request, can you add some control over the metadata searched? I searched for ‘aardvark’ and I got a bunch of images of buildings and trees taken by folks with aardvark in their usernames.
- projproj 7y agoYes, I can look into that.
- purerandomness 7y agoNice one, great project! Would love if the URI would change after searching so I can share search result URLs.
- projproj 7y agoThat's a great suggestion. Thanks for chiming in.
