After much experimenting and googling, the following Python code successfully calls Google's Search APi - but only returns 4 results: after reading the Google Search API docs, I thought the 'start=' would return additional results: but this not happen. Can anyone give pointers? Thanks. Python code: /usr/bin/python import urllib import simplejson query = urllib.urlencode({'q' : 'site:example.com'}) url = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&%s&start=50' \ % (query) search_results = urllib.urlopen(url) json = simplejson.loads(search_results.read()) results = json[

Assume I have the entire HTML of a Google search results page. Does anyone know of any existing code (Ruby?) to scrape/parse the first page of Google search results? Ideally it would handle the Shopping Results and Video Results sections that can spring up anywhere. If not, what's the best Ruby-based tool for screenscraping in general? To clarify: I'm aware that it's difficult/impossible to get Google search results programmatically/API-wise AND simply CURLing results pages has a lot of issues. There's concensus on both of these points here on stackoverflow. My question is different. This

I'm trying to build an android app that would do a local search on google. I know there is a Google Search API for Java , and I am able to use it for a desktop application. However, when I use the same jar file (gsearch.jar) in my android project, Some problems arise. When I call the .localSearch() method of my gsearch.Client object, a runtime error is occurring.

More importantly, how do I do a local

I am trying to decide whether I should use App-engine Search API or Datastore for an App-engine Connected Android Project. The only distinction that the google documentation makes is ... an index search can find no more than 10,000 matching documents. The App Engine Datastore may be more appropriate for applications that need to retrieve very large result sets. Given that I am already very familiar with the Datastore: Will someone please help me, assuming I don't need 10,000 results? Are there any advantages to using the Search API versus using Datastore for my queries (per the quote above, it

I have been using the Google Websearch API for over 1 year now. The service was deprecated in Nov 2010 but continues to provide results to date. More recently, google has started to enforce the 1,000 queries (?) per day limit on this deprecated service. I swear, last month I made over 10,000 API calls in one day without any errors from the service (same IP, same API key). So I guess my question is has anyone found an alternative yet? I know yahoo boss is pretty good but I am working exclusively on Google for my projects. I do not mind spending money for for this service either as long as i can
