When I google for something, I get the count.

Results 1 - 10 of about 800

Is there any API or something like that to capture the number "800"? I have a database of a few thousand words and I want the google count against it.

Google have a AJAX Search API with this example: Number of Search Results

There well could be an API, but until it's found, why not just sent the query and scrape the resulting page?

wget --output-document=- http://www.google.com/search?q=the+word | grep "Results 1 - 10 of about" | awk  etc...
