I saw this Stack Overflow Question but I cannot find the answer to the following question:
is there a way to use a Google API, or another search provider api, to get the count of a web search?
i.e. get the number of results given a search query?
Note: I’m only interested in the count of results not the single results.
Thanks
The Google API mentioned in the referenced question is deprecated.
You should use the Google Custom Search API – and there in the manual you can find that the JSON-formatted answer returns also the total count of the results (JSON key named
totalResults)
