I’m running an automated X news account.
It works well and I post 2 images per post (similarly to many X accounts).
Those two images are fetched through SERP API as I couldn’t find another solution.
Images are obviously related to the tweet content and SERP API and finding the pictures.
Is there another solution than SERP API? I’m not 100% convinced that this is the right solution.
Another approach is using the [serpapi.com](Google Images API - SerpApi) Google Images API specifically, which might be more cost-effective than general SERP API if you’re only searching for images. You could also combine these - use stock photo APIs for general content and fall back to Google Images API for more specific searches related to your news content.
The stock photo APIs would likely be more reliable and cost-effective for your automation, plus you won’t have to worry about copyright issues!
