OpenAPI Initiative Download OpenAPI Spec

The Google Images Related Content API returns what Google Images shows when you open an image: related images with their title, source, original size and thumbnail, price, rating and reviews for the ones Google lists as products, and related searches. Take an image's related_content_id from a Google Images API or Google Images Light API response and pass it with the same q. Every related image has its own related_content_id, so you can follow one image to the next.
