Going to Google code page I couldn’t find the API I should use to perform a basic web search. All other resources I found point to Google Base API but it is no longer available.
What I need is to be able to sumbit a query string and get back a list with site names. For example, I need to find the first results when searching for “champions league” as if typing the query on the Google page.
What is the correct API to use for text searches these days? Are there any librariries for PHP or C Sharp?
EDIT: I found PHP code on the Net that sends requests to ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web. I checked it out and it actually returns search results 🙂 Do you know where I can find info for this endpoint and from what API is it part? Also, Custom Search API as suggested by @Rickard doesn’t seem to provide this basic functionality. I tried to use it but it asks me to enter the sites I want to search in. I don’t want to search particular sites but all.
Thank you
Check out the Google Custom Search API
