"light Google searches"? I'm not sure what you're talking about. Which API(s) are you trying to use? If you're using the deprecated (AJAX) Search APIs (e.g., Web, News, Images), you don't have to sign up anywhere, per se. (I would not, however, recommend doing so.) However, if you're trying to use the Custom Search API or any of the newer APIs, you will need to use the APIs Console to obtain an API key and, particularly in the case of a web application, set up access controls. You can do this at http://code.google.com/apis/console . If you still can't find what you're looking for, post again with more details of what you're trying to do.

So you're using the Custom Search API. You need to use the APIs Console to get an API key. Simply create a project, activate the Custom Search API, and you'll be able to get what you need.

Well......I don't want to change all my existing code.........can I keep using Curl with PHP instead of trying to integrate some API......just pay for searches if they go over the limit?

Yes, you can absolutely use PHP/Curl to access the Custom Search API (CSAPI). But you still need to go to the API Console, create your project, activate the CSAPI, and obtain the related API key. Your code should just have a place to plug that in.
