Not sure if this is the right forum to post in, please move it if it isn’t, but the code that does the queries is written in PHP.
So, I have a script that creates a mosaic out of an image. This mosaic is made up of thousands of thumbnails, of which I currently get by:
1.Sending automated queries to Google’s search engine
2. Parsing the page for thumbnail URL’s
3. Requesting and getting these images from Google
Now, I was recently brought to the understanding that Google’s TOS section 5.3, doesn’t allow the running of any automated script. Tell me if I got that wrong 
Because of this restriction, I was wondering if any other image search engines don’t have, or at least have a more lenient TOS in this respect.
As a last resort, I’ll try to make some kind of contract with Google, but as this will probably cost money, and this mosaic program won’t make much, I’ll probably just scrap the project 
Thanks!
