One more question

In order not to get captcha that often is it better to keep the same session (cookie) or to open new one as often as possible.

Thanks again

Thanks for the quick response!

Is this tool (google parser) going to be available for download? I see download section but no source code yet I think it would be great php/curl maybe regex learning lesson.

I would like to develop something similar. It should run multiple queries in batch mode. It doesn’t have to be fast but should be stable. In your experience, if the queries run with like 2,3 seconds timeout should I face the captcha? I would like to develop similar way for user to fill captcha input and continue with queries. The problem is that processing script should run in the background – not the same script that generates user interface.

Milan, you are right.
I use Curl library for the HTTP requests, with it I can use the same cookie for several GETs or POSTs.

To represent a session I just use the same cookie, when I want to start a new session I delete the old cookie and done.

How do you ensure that saved cookie is for the same session? Actually what do you have to save in the cookies in order to continue search. I guess you use curl library?

Basically, number of results limitations and no pagination over the rest of the results.
A year ago when I used this API, you can only get the first 8 results for a specific search and you can’t paginate over the rest of the results.

So if you don’t need the rest of the search results this API could be good for you.

I just read that now the Google AJAX search API gives you the first 32 results and pagination only over them. Still the same limits but with a few more results.

“I tried the Google AJAX search API, it has too many limitations”

Kamil, I tried the Google AJAX search API, it has too many limitations.
I didn’t use the previous SOAP API because when I want to use it Google are no longer giving new API keys.

Thanks for the links, I will check them.

BTW: I modify a little your second link to prevent problems with my advertisers…
