title: Google Custom Search for Image Returns 500 Error
body: <p>Started about 40 hours ago, Google Custom Search when used for image search (searchType=image) always returns 500 error. I have double checked with the APIs documentation and there seems to be no change. This is affecting quite a lot of people as you can see in this forum.</p>

  <p>This is all I get back in the response:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
     "error": {
         "code": 500,
         "message": null
     }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried calling Google, but they just kept redirecting me to the website where there is absolutely no information relating to this.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone managed to get this to work or have spoken to a person at Google? We are heavily using this feature and it's very costly to have it down for this long.</p>
