Google Search API

Question

Does the Google API provide access to its search results?

The latest information I can find about this is based on this 2008 article , which no longer exists.

UPDATE

I don’t want to use Google Custom Search for my own site, but naturally, access the Google results on the search results page.

Answer 1

Do you really need an API? If you just call http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=testsearch , for example, it will return results for "testearch".

You did not mention how you will get the results, but you can use the ASP.NET webClient control or something as simple as parsing the returned HTML.

Answer 2

The original search API is deprecated in favor of a new custom search API . You can also find a lot of related information in the google-search-api tag with which you even noted this question.

Answer 3

Answer 4

You can use custom search API

This is the recommended replacement for the web search API that is deprecated .
