Server Address: http://api.google.com/search/beta2
Search Text:
Result Format
 

What is this?

  • This is a web search using Google's web service interface. The web service is defined by this WSDL file.
  • The search page shows how to use SQLData SOAP client library to interact with the service.
  • Search results are transformed into HTML segments using an XSLT file.

Search Tips

  • Use quotes to search word in sequence:  "SOAP Client".
  • Use related: to search related sites:  i.e.,  related:soapclient.com.
  • Use link: to get all links to a site: i.e., link:sqldata.com

Sample Code (SQLData SOAP Client)
The following sample demonstrates how to do  Google searches  using SQLData client library, note that the returned result set is transformed using an XML style sheet (XSLT).


Dim MyAgent As SoapAgent
Set MyAgent = New SoapAgent
'Add message parameters, see http://google.com/apis for details
MyAgent.AddParameter "key", "your account key", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "q", "string to search for", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "start", "0", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "maxResults", "10", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "filter", "0", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "restrict", "0", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "safeSearch", "1", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "lr", "lang_en", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "ie", "", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "oe", "", ""

'execute the method
MyAgent.ExecuteMethod "http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl", "doGoogleSearch"
'Transform the result to HTML format using a style sheet.
MyResult = MyAgent.Transform("http://soapclient.com/xml/Google.xsl", "","")
'Show the results ?
MsgBox MyResult

Sample ASP Code (SQLData SOAP Client)

<% 
set myAgent=Server.CreateObject("SQLDataSoap.SoapAgent")

start = Request("start")
if start = "" then
start = "0"

' add the parameter value, please use your own account key, see http://google.com/apis for details
MyAgent.AddParameter "key", "your_google_key", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "q", Request("q"), ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "start", start, ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "maxResults", "10", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "filter", "0", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "restrict", "0", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "safeSearch", "1", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "lr", "1ang_en", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "ie", "", ""
MyAgent.AddParameter "oe", "", ""

' Execute the method  
MyAgent.ExecuteMethod "http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl", "doGoogleSearch"
' transform the result using an XSLT style sheet.
Transformed = MyAgent.Transform("http://soapclient.com/xml/googleASP.xsl", "","")
Response.Write(Transformed)
%>

Assume this is in the file /google.asp, user can use:
      http://yourhost/google.asp?q=KeywordToSearch
to trigger the service. The SOAP Client Library contains a functioning ASP page in the GoogleSearch directory.
