Interesting. Do you know if it's limited to 64 results?
FYI, here's how I went about it. It works, but is restricted to the first 64
results. Note that all I needed was the URLs of the search results. And
there's lots of duct tape here. To neaten this up research JSON.
def query_google(query, start):
import urllib2, urllib
#
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=Paris%20Hilton&start=5
# urlencode the query
query = urllib.quote(query)
url = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=' +
query + '&start=' + str(start) + '&rsz=large'
try:
req = urllib2.Request(url)
opener = urllib2.build_opener()
data_string = opener.open(req).read()
except urllib2.URLError:
print "------ Error opening " + url + "..... Timed out?"
return None
# Should use json to parse the results, but instead we're converting the
string to dictionary. Duct tape.
# replace the "null" with "None" for Python
data_string = data_string.replace(": null,", ": None,")
# convert the string to a dictionary
exec("data = " + data_string)
# simplify the results a bit
results = data["responseData"]["results"]
# build list of urls
urls = []
for i in results:
url = i["url"]
url = url.split("%")[0] # get rid of some garbage from the url.
Probably avoidable by using Json.
urls.append(url)
return urls
results = query_google("whatever", start=1)
print results
