Re: Automated search + search for an exact phrase

[Jeremy Geerdes]

The Web Search (AJAX) API and Custom Search APIs are the only way to legally access Google search results programmatically without special permission from Google Legal. Although I have heard of a couple of exceptions, these seem to be few and far between. My suggestion for you, particularly if you're searching Wikipedia for copyright violations rather, would be to use the Custom Search API (CSAPI). With the CSAPI, the restrictions on automated searching are more vague than with the Web Search (AJAX) API, but I would still recommend introducing some level of human interaction with your script. Probably the best way to do this would be to have a human enter the particular phrases you want to search for and then initiate the search manually.

In the case of either the Web Search (AJAX) API or the CSAPI, there will be inconsistencies between the results you receive with the API when compared to the results you receive from a standard Google search. There is no real workaround for this.

Hello! Now I am planning to write the bot which will check the copyright violation in Wikipedia. Since automated search is against Google's TOS, can anybody suggest me what I should do in order to perform the automated search?

In addition, my requirement is to search for an exact phrase. However, the result from Google AJAX APi is useless; API does not give any result in most of queries, while Google web search gives many results. So I want to know how to solve this problem as well. (I have seen many posts about this question, but it does not answer the question positively.)

I have tried to use Yahoo service or Bing service instead of Google service. However, my language is Thai, and both Yahoo and Bing are very bad in Thai language. So I think that Google is the best in order to do the search.

Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks!

You cal use:

Wikipedia API

The Java Wikipedia Library (JWPL)^[3] was also developed at UKP Lab. It is a Java-based application programming interface for Wikipedia and allows programmatic access to all information contained in Wikipedia.
