Re: Testing on localhost, 'Invalid authorization key'

That's because the AJAX Search API key doesn't work with the SOAP
Search API key. The two are totally different, and the SOAP API has
been deprecated by Google so that they are no longer providing new
keys.

I realize that the SOAP API keys are no longer being issued. however,
the pygoogle readme.txt explains that this is needed.


>>> import google
>>> google.LICENSE_KEY = '...' # must get your own!
>>> data = google.doGoogleSearch('python')

So, how can i get an AJAX API key?
the example that i found on google, shows that only a google account
is required (username and password). HOWEVER, you mention above that
"AJAX Search API key doesn't work with the SOAP Search API key. " I am
now totally confused. does pyGoogle work with SOAP or AJAX or both?

Assuming AJAX is working, where can i get more information on how to
query google and parse the results? I am doing a personal search.

import gdata.docs.service
client = gdata.docs.service.DocsService()
client.ClientLogin(username...@gmail.com', 'password')
documents_feed = client.GetDocumentListFeed()
for document_entry in documents_feed.entry:
print document_entry.title.text

results is "HouseBills" which is correct.

According to the information I found on sourcefourge.net, PyGoogle
works with the SOAP API. Thus, you get the SoapException.
Unfortunately, there are still a lot of websites, tutorials,
applications, etc., running around out there trumpeting the wonders of
the "Google Web API", which is another name for the SOAP Search API
which has been deprecated since late 2006. Namely, for those who
registered an API key before 6 Dec 2006, the thing still works, but
for the rest of us, we're simply out of luck. This is why I'm
surprised to see that it's actually returning a result of some sort.

Documentation for the AJAX Search API is found at the link below, but
you might find it a little disappointing if you're trying to
programmatically parse the results: it doesn't work with server-side
or standalone applications yet. It is, in its present form, strictly
a Javascript-based API, meaning that it must be utilized in a browser
environment, but you can vote for server-side access on the Features
Request page! And while it eliminates the query limits that were
present in the SOAP API, it introduces a results limit of 32 results
across 4 separate requests.

Is there any way to use google search spell checking, anymore?
I have tried other solutions, but none seem to match the google
dictionary.

Thank you,

Not at this time, but you can vote for such functionality on the

AJAX Search API keys cannot be used with the SOAP Search API. The
SOAP Search API has been deprecated by Google (i.e., they are no
longer issuing keys to use it). The AJAX API cannot be used at
present with server-side or standalone applications, but only with
Javascript in the web browser context. If you want server-side or
standalone access, vote for it in the Feature Requests page.
