AdWords and Web Search API

[SEO Dave]

I have a question which may be completely irrelevant in this group. I
lead a search team that works on both SEO and PPC for our clients, and
am looking to come up with some efficiencies for my team during the
keyword research process. We spend a lot of time capturing various
pieces of data (estimated search volume for Adwords keyword research
tool, and then we manually go through the process of researching
various web queries like "allintitle:", "allintext", etc).

I know the SOAP API used to provide this level of data, but that is
gone and I can't find an alternate API that will gather this data.
Does one exist? Or has it been eliminated? Can I talk to anyone at
Google to help with this or just out of luck?

Hi Dave.

I've tested Google Ajax Search API, but it gives different values from
Google Web Search.
But this is one legal way to get this data from Google.
If this is good for you - you can test it.

Seems that you will not get any luck in that, as I've tested partners
sites,
which are using Google search - and they have different values from
Google too.
From this I can guess that Google didn't have other APIs than public
to return this data.
So my clients are needed to scrape this results from Google with using
a lot of problems :)

Let me know if you will get a luck in that, please.
