I want to search image from Google and add this images in collection view cell. I am new to iOS development. I search through net and Google is saying me about its custom API search. Can anyone help me giving a helpful sample code for Google image search.

  • what have you tried? you can just use google rest api and conduct the search. Your question is very ambiguous. – J2theC May 18 '14 at 07:41

The google custom search API is depreciated, Google has not published any documentation on its usage limits, although speculated that it is 5,000 calls, this is not an official figure, and it makes sense that Google reduces the limit as the API nears its shelve life.

From the google API page

Note: The Google Web Search API has been officially deprecated as of November 1, 2010. It will continue to work as per our deprecation policy, but the number of requests you may make per day will be limited. Therefore, we encourage you to move to Custom Search, which provides an alternative solution.

I suggest you look into the Bing search API which has several examples online to get you started.

You can also look into https://developers.google.com/custom-search/ instead

  • look at the rsz (number of results to return per page) & start( start index of the first search result) parameter in reference. – Pawan Rai Jun 03 '14 at 09:46
