Installation

To get started with tiny-data you need to enable the Custom Search API from Google and export the variables SEARCH_ENGINE_ID and CUSTOM_SEARCH_API_KEY to your environment.

Note: google limits the number of requests to 100/day which inherently puts a cap on the number of images you can download.

The package itself can be downloaded from crates.io by running

cargo install tiny-data
