Yahoo's BOSS API allows one to query the Yahoo search database and return values back to the calling program for extraction and usage. Does Google offer a similar tool or API for developers?

I understand that Yahoo BOSS is set to begin charging for queries in excess of 10k per day and I have a shipping plugin which pulls data on demand from this engine, so I'm looking to allow the end user to choose their search provider in order that I can spread the risk.

Yes - the google custom search API. There was once a SOAP API, but it is deprecated now.

  • thanks! Do you know if the "100 queries/day" limit is per account or per IP address? Yahoo's limit is 10k per day :) – Scott B Dec 19 '10 at 22:07
