No images found

Error message

No images found

What it means

Raised by read_images() when BeautifulSoup finds no <img> tags with class "mimg" (or the fallback class "gir_mmimg") in the Bing results HTML, producing an empty image list. It means the polling loop ended with a page that looks complete but contains no result markup — typically a layout change or an empty/silent failure page from Bing.

Solutions

1. Update g4f to the latest version — selector breakage against Bing's markup is fixed upstream
2. Log/dump the returned HTML to confirm which page Bing actually served
3. Retry — transient empty responses occur under load
4. Switch to another image provider if Bing markup has changed and no fix is released yet

try:
    images = await create_images(client, prompt)
except RuntimeError as e:
    if "No images found" in str(e):
        images = await other_image_provider(prompt)  # markup drift, not your fault
    else:
        raise

When it happens

Trigger: Bing returns an HTML results page without mimg/gir_mmimg img elements — e.g. after a frontend markup change, an A/B variant, or an error page that lacks the GenerativeImagesStatusPage marker the polling loop checks for.

Common situations: Outdated g4f version after Bing ships a markup redesign; regional Bing variants serving different DOM; responses that are JSON errors not matching the errorMessage checks.
