Here is the documentation for the Custom Search API: https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview
You have heard that there are two distinct search APIs offered by Google. This is true: the old Web Search API which has been deprecated and will be discontinued no later than May 2014, and the Custom Search API (CSAPI). The CSAPI offers up to 100 requests for free. And it should be noted that different "pages" of results count as separate requests. Once you reach the 100 requests threshold, the API will return an error message about exceeding usage limits unless you enable billing. If you enable billing, then my understanding is that you no longer receive 100 free requests, but that you are billed at the rate of USD 5 per 1000 requests. This is prorated, so if you only use 500 requests, you only pay USD 2.50. You can adjust your budget so that, if you don't want to spend more than USD 20, the API will only allow you 4000 requests, but even with billing enabled, there is a maximum of 10000 requests per day. It is also important to note that, even with the CSAPI, the search results will not match google.com results exactly. And finally, there is NO public API offered by Google which allows unlimited search requests and/or results. Hope that helps. jg On Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 11:55 AM, ATOZ SER < [email protected]> wrote: > I AM HAVING A CLASSIFIED DIRECTORY WEBISTE IN WHICH WE ARE PLANNING TO > > INTEGRATE GOOGLE SEARCH API THROUGH WHICH IF ANY USER SEARCH ON OUR > WEBSITE ABOUT ANY INFROMATION, MAPS, IMAGES THE RESULT SHOULD BE OF > GOOGLE.COM > > MEANS THE SEARCH RESULT SHOULD COME FROM GOOGLE.COM > > PLEASE GUIDE US ABOUT GOOGLE CUSTOM SEARCH API. > > I TRIED TO SEARCH ABOUT CUSTOM SEARCH API OF GOOGLE BUT DIDNT GET ANY > USEFUL INFORMATION. > > I HAVE ALSO HEARD LIKE THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF GOOGLE SEARCH API IS THERE > > ONE IS PAID API & ANOTHER IS FREE API OF GOOGLE. > > MY FRIEND SAID UPTO 100 SEARCH ITS FREE AND FOR EVERY EXTRA 1000 SEARCH > ABOUT 100 WILL BE CHARGED > > AT $5 PER 1000 SEARCH ABOVE THE FREE SEARCH OF 100.
