Getting the number of hits from the Google API

Question

I tried to find a way to do this, but to no avail. I am looking for a way to find out how many hits get into the search, and I do not want to do this manually or by searching for regular expressions through the html code. Of course, the Google API should have an easy way to do this.

Does anyone know about this?
