"Search instead for" json property

[sn187]

Hi,
I'm looking for the property for "Search instead for" so I can get the
contents of the Google spelling suggestion. I am trying to make a b2b
like call to Google search api and using Gson object to parse the
response. But, I don't know the exact property / attribute name of
the "Search instead for" so I can get it's content.
Thanks,

[Jeremy Geerdes]

There is no such property accessible via any of Google's public APIs. I believe Bing has a spelling API. Yahoo! used to have one, but I'm not sure I would rely on it even if it is still available.

JSON/Atom Custom Search API results data can include a "spelling" object with "correctedQuery" and "htmlCorrectedQuery" properties.  You can observe this as follows:

Create a Custom Search Engine (CSE):

  http://www.google.com/cse/  

Configure the CSE to search the web:

  http://support.google.com/customsearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1210656

Use the JSON/Atom Custom Search API:

  https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview

Submit this (misspelled) query via the API:

  surfboreds

The API will return results for the uncorrected query, but the "spelling" object will provide "correctedQuery" and "htmlCorrectedQuery" properties:

  "spelling": {
    "correctedQuery": "surfboards",
    "htmlCorrectedQuery": "\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003esurfboards\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/b\u003e"
   }

See related documentation:

Use your browser's text search function to find all occurrences of "correctedQuery" in the "Response" section of this page from API documentation:

  https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/cse/list#response

I see, I'll check out other API's you listed.
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion to use custom search api ... but I wonder
how it would work with person names.
I guess I'll come back and report about that :)
Thanks.
