Hello all,
I am trying to work my through chapter 2 using DDG instead of calling an API. It was going well up until I make a directory and try to put photos into the various folders. Please can someone advise where I am going wrong? Thank you.

I used this code and it worked:
from duckduckgo_search import DDGS
def search_images(term, max_images=30):
print(f"Searching for '{term}'")
with DDGS() as ddgs:
search_results = ddgs.images(keywords=term)
image_urls = [next(search_results).get("image") for _ in range(max_images)]
return L(image_urls)
bear_types = 'grizzly','black','teddy'
path = Path('bears')
from time import sleep
for o in bear_types:
dest = (path/o)
dest.mkdir(exist_ok=True, parents=True)
download_images(dest, urls=search_images(f'{o} bear photo', max_images=100))
sleep(10)
resize_images(path/o, max_size=400, dest=path/o)
fns = get_image_files(path)
fns

Thank you, this worked a treat! Do you know why this worked and my attempt didn’t? What I wrote above was the same as the video
I’m not 100% sure (I’m a student as well). I think DuckDuckGo changed their API in the year since the course was filmed.
