google java api for google search

Does google provide a Java server side api **(NOT java script).**I dont want the ajax api which works at clint side. What i want is that the result returned for a keyword should return me search result开发者_运维技巧 in some specific data structure.Like List or set data structure.Then i want to manipulate the result according to my need in java code. I had used such a java server site api for youtube.

They used to but is discontinued. Most likely because you can remove their ads ;-)

From Google's terms of service

You may not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system without express permission in advance from Google.

So, no - use their AJAX API. The SAOP API is discoutinued, but I think you should be able to use it, unless it requires a key, in which case you are tied to the AJAX API

Technically, the statement quoted above doesn't mean you can't use some sort of server-side API - there are examples of that if you google around. It means you shouldn't do it, because sooner or later you will be blacklisted (banned), as violating the terms.

What you would be looking for now is the CustomSearch API:

They used to have a different API developers could use but it has been depreciated (Nov. 2009 I think) so this is a for cost service now. I am not aware how long it might have been a free service. The new API allows 100 free searches a day, but you have to be signed up for billing else anything above 100 searches will fail, here are the details:

And sorry yes, this would still be using Java Script but you could use this: http://www.json.org/java/

There is at least a SOAP API that I'm aware of: Google SOAP Search API

I don't think Google wants 3rd parties to use their search engine for their own services/applications. You would get "we think you are a robot" error page as a result if Google thinks you are not a real person.

You can however try Google Custom Search
