The Google Lens API allows you to perform reverse image searches and find visually similar images, exact matches, products, and related searches based on an image URL. Google Lens uses advanced image recognition to identify objects, products, text, and other visual elements in images. **Cross-linking**: The visual matches and exact matches returned by this API often contain product information that can be used with the Google Shopping API for more detailed product searches.

- **Tool id:** `searchapi-io-google-lens`
- **Provider:** [SearchAPI.io](/providers/searchapi-io)
- **Job:** [Google lens search](/reference/jobs/search-google-lens) (`search.google-lens`)
- **Price:** $0.004 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `country` | string | no |   |
| `crop` | string | no |   |
| `engine` | string | no | Fixed to "google_lens" for this endpoint. Example: "google_lens" |
| `hl` | string | no |   |
| `link` | string | no |   |
| `q` | string | no |   |
| `safe_search` | string | no |   |
| `search_type` | string | no |   |
| `url` | string | yes |   |

## Output

The run's `result` holds the provider's answer. Signed in, `looot inspect searchapi-io-google-lens` prints its fields.

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.
