Hello.
I can't find any documentation about new Google feature "search by
image". Is API avaliable for it, and there I can read about how to use
it in my Firefox extension?

Thanks!

If you're talking about the functionality underlying Google Goggles (i.e., where you submit an image to Google and it compares the image to others in its index to find something similar), there is no such API.

Thank You for response.
I just want some API for this

to find similar images by base image url. How I understand, I can`t do
this from my code?
