I'm trying to pull pictures from Google Images using AJAX and a color filter.
The Google Search API has been deprecated, and use of the Custom Search API is encouraged instead. However, in reading the Programmer's Guides found there, I see no option for global search instead of site-specific search. It says here to set up a custom search engine, but this requires the searching to be limited to a specific URL!
There is a similar SO post which links to a Google Groups discussion. The only solutions offered there are either to use the deprecated API, something I'm rather loath to do since access has been limited, or to use the Bing API instead, which cannot filter searches by colors.
Are there really no other solutions? Is it impossible to perform a global Google Images search using AJAX?
