Does google allow businesses to use "Did you Mean" feature as an api?? I would like to use it but I am not getting anything

I want to use Google API for Did you mean feature. So basically I want to write a piece of code, which sends a word to Google search and either Google finds the exact hits or gives a "DID YOU MEAN" reply which i would use.

Is it made available? Tried finding it but couldn't find.

So I invested some time and this what I've found

1/ You should have your custom search engine

https://cse.google.com

2/ Configure it to search all webs

https://support.google.com/customsearch/answer/2631040?hl=en

3/ Make query to that engine following the document

https://developers.google.com/custom-search/json-api/v1/using_rest

Spelling / Did you mean repairs if possible can be found in "spelling" section. (Irrelevant sections removed) . Fox ex: I searched for "devart" here

{
  "kind": "customsearch#search",
  "url": {
    },
  "queries": {
    "request": [
      
    ]
  },
  "context": {
    
  },
  "searchInformation": {
    
  },
  "spelling": {
    "correctedQuery": "deviantart",
    "htmlCorrectedQuery": "<b><i>deviantart</i></b>"
  },
  "items": [
    
  ]
}
