As Barry said, this isn't too difficult: the Custom Search API <https://developers.google.com/custom-search/json-api/v1/overview> should provide you with search access you need. Although you should note the prices: the first 100 searches are for free, then it's billed at $5 for 1000 searches. If you anticipate your application being used a lot, you should rate limit requests or protect it in some manner so you don't end up incurring a large bill. If this is too limiting, I would suggest using another API but keeping your original idea: for instance, you could use the Blogger API <https://developers.google.com/blogger/> to search for posts and sorting them in interesting ways, or using the Civic Information API <https://developers.google.com/civic-information/> to sort election information in new ways. ----------------- -Vinny P Technology & Media Consultant Chicago, IL App Engine Code Samples: http://www.learntogoogleit.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
