Google Image search in Php

Question

I'm trying to use google images api with PHP, and I'm really not sure what to do.

I have written the following Code

<?php
$url = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/images?".
"v=1.0&q=indian%20institue%20of%20techology";
$jk=file_get_contents($url);
$json = json_decode($jk, true);
echo $json["responseData"]["results"][0]["url"];
?>

I wish to find the url of 1st Image from image search. I'm not getting any result when using the script.

The 2nd and third line in your code seem to be cut off or broken — chrki, Jan 23 '16 at 19:38

Google has retired the image search API, it is no longer available (see this SO thread with alternatives).

If you open up the URL you provided it will say this:

{"responseData": null, "responseDetails": "This API is no longer available.", "responseStatus": 403}
