Searching for Images

This section describes how to use an image to search for similar images using AK/SK authentication.

Replace the AK/SK in the sample code with the actual AK/SK. Set the path parameter in the initialized SearchPictureReq command to specify the URL of the image you want to use to search for similar images. After the configuration is complete, run the code.

1. The sample code for image searching is as follows:

   # coding: utf-8 
   
   from huaweicloudsdkcore.auth.credentials import BasicCredentials
   from huaweicloudsdkcore.exceptions import exceptions
   from huaweicloudsdkimagesearch.v1 import *
   from huaweicloudsdkimagesearch.v1.region.imagesearch_region import ImageSearchRegion
    
   if __name__ == "__main__":
       # Set the obtained AK and SK.
       ak = "<YOUR AK>"
       sk = "<YOUR SK>"
    
       credentials = BasicCredentials(ak, sk)
    
       client = ImageSearchClient.new_builder() \
           .with_credentials(credentials) \
           .with_region(ImageSearchRegion.value_of("cn-north-4")) \
           .build()
    
       try:
           request = RunSearchPictureRequest()
           # Set the instance name.
           request.instance_name="instance-name"
           # Set the image path.
           request.body=SearchPictureReq(
               path="https://bucketname.obs.cn-north-4.myhuaweicloud.com/imagesearch-test.jpg"
           )
           response = client.run_search_picture(request)
           print(response.status_code)
           print(response)
       except exceptions.ClientRequestException as e:
           print(e.status_code)
           print(e.request_id)
           print(e.error_code)
           print(e.error_msg)

2. Execute the sample code. If the image search result is displayed on the console, the code is successfully executed. For details, see Searching for Images.
