Project description

carScrapper is a tool designed to scrape car images for a Trump Cards Game. It uses the Google Images website to search for cars and download their images.

Project details

The app reads the car names from a JSON file called cars_data.json and searches for them on Google Images. It then uses BeautifulSoup to scrape the given URL and retrieve the img src from the first image found. After that, it downloads the image and saves it to the images folder naming them with the car name and adding the .jpg extension.
