to Google AJAX APIs
I've been using the AJAX API and it's been very powerful and manages
to do most things I've needed. Unfortunatly I'm working on something
at the moment and hit a bit of a dead end and I'm unsure if there is a
way to do this with the API or if there is something else I'd be able
to use...

Basically I'm looking at getting the back links for different sites,
as well as the indexed pages. I can do this searching for it, but am
limited to the 64 results which isn't enough. I'm fairly certain there
wouldn't be a way to manage getting this results in their full form,
but I thought it might be worth while double checking. Even if it's a
paid option it'd be something we'd strongly look into...

Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated!

As you have surmised, there is no way to get more than 64 results from the Search API. To my knowledge, Google does not offer a paid search API, either. Additionally, even with the 64 results, the Search API has a tendency to drop significant numbers of results when using search operators such as link: and site:, which would be what you're looking to do. The best I can suggest for you is to utilize Google Webmaster Tools. This suite of tools will help you find all of this information, though not programmatically.

Then what is the recommendation for that kind of research if must be
done programmatically? I have a similar assignment, instead of
backlink is a keyword research issue, but the problem is the same....

How can I access from my application to all data that a normal user
see when execute a search??

I know that lot of softwares make SEO research tasks that need have
access to that kind of data, what technical those software uses??

Thanks in advance
