  Hi all, 

  I'm trying to write a console app that given a certain topic would download images related to that topic. My idea was to use the google image search results and then download some of those images in no specific order.

  I create a small program in C# console that connect with google api and passes the essential parameters such as "project Id", "Google custom search Id" and the "query".

  With the code bellow I'm able to do a search and get the first 10 results printed in the console. Now I need more info on how to access the image's url, and how to download them. 

  private void Run()
          {
              //Create the Service.
              CustomsearchService service = new CustomsearchService(new BaseClientService.Initializer
              {
                  ApiKey = "[My ApiKey from my Google project]",
              });
  
              //Specify the query to be searched.
              CseResource.ListRequest listRequest = service.Cse.List("charcoal");
  
              //Specify the Custom Search Engine. 
              listRequest.Cx = "[My Custom Engine Search ID]";
  
              Search search = listRequest.Execute();
  
              //Run the service.
              Console.WriteLine();
              Console.WriteLine("Executing my test request");
              Console.WriteLine();
  
              foreach (var searchresult in search.Items)
              {
                  Console.WriteLine("Title: {0}", searchresult.Title);
                  Console.WriteLine("Link: {0}", searchresult.Link);
              }
  
          }
