How to integrate google search engine to a chatbot using api.ai?

Question

The question is not about integrating on any website. It's about chatbots using AI

There are inbuilt domains for web search, but those are not free to use.

So I was wondering if I can query google search engine directly and process it in the backend code and return it as required?

Answer 1

Yes. You can integrate Google Search, but you'll need to run a program (node/python) on a server that'll take the query parameters from the user and make the search and return a JSON.

Go to https://www.google.co.in/cse to make your own custom search engine. You can restrict search results from a specific website or not.
