This article explains how to add the Google Images enricher. The purpose of this enricher is to search for an image based on the provided text—such as a company, organization, or any other name—and add the retrieved image to the golden record.

The Google Images enricher supports the following endpoint:

• https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key={APIKey}&cx=000950167190857528722:vf0rypkbf0w&q={Name}&searchType=image

Add Google Images enricher

To use the Google Images enricher, you must provide the API key. To get the API key, follow the instructions here. The enricher uses the defined image search text (from a vocabulary key) as the query for retrieving relevant images.

To add Google Images enricher

1. On the navigation pane, go to Preparation > Enrich. Then, select Add Enricher.

2. On the Choose Enricher tab, select Google Images, and then select Next.

   

3. On the Configure tab, provide the following details:

   1. API Key – enter the API key required to authenticate with the Google Images endpoint.

   2. Accepted Business Domain – enter the business domain to define which golden records will be enriched.

   3. Image Search text – enter the vocabulary key that contains the text to be used for the image search.

      

4. Select Test Connection to make sure the enricher is properly configured, and then select Add.

   The Google Images enricher is added and has an active status. This means that it will enrich relevant golden records during processing or when you trigger external enrichment.
