Hello:
Will the image spyder scrape images from Pixabay? Also, can you tell the software that you only want jpg images?
Thanks.

    I found the answers in the demo version of the software, but it is not scraping anything from Pixabay only. Is that just a limitation of the demo version? Thanks.

    Well what are you missing from the Pixabay scraper? Can you give a sample?

    I have it set to scrape Pixabay only, but there are no results, no images.

    with what keyword and parameters? Also check proxy setup.

    keyword: car
    No Proxies and no parameters.

    You are right, that site is now protected via cloudflare. I guess there is currently no way to parse this easily.

    latest update will allow you to parse pixabay again with a small drawback:
    1. You need to sign up at pixabay for an API-Key.
    2. You need to edit the scraper "Pixabax with API" located in "c:\users\<login>\appdata\roaming\gsa image spider\scraper\"
