'How to search for web and images results from Google Custom Search JSON API?

I'm implementing Google's Custom Search JSON API into my application which shall search for both web and images. I am able to query for web and images independently.
For web: https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=${key}&start=${start}&cx=${cx}&q=${searchVal}
For images: https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=${key}&searchType=image&start=${start}&cx=${cx}&q=${searchVal}
This works perfectly. However, as you can see, I have to make 2 separate requests to get the web results and the images for a single query value. This is an issue since it makes room for Google's search query quota to be exceeded. So, I need to find a way to make a single request which returns me both the web and image results for a particular search value.
Any help or recommendation would be appreciated.
