java google custom search api

Question

I'm trying to use the java client for the Google custom search api but couldn't find any sample tutorials on the web. Can someone provide a simple example for me to get started? Thank you!

Answer 1

I want to make a correction here.

customsearch.setKey("YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE");

does not work for client lib 1.6 but following does work

     Customsearch customsearch = new Customsearch(new NetHttpTransport(), new JacksonFactory());

    try {
        com.google.api.services.customsearch.Customsearch.Cse.List list = customsearch.cse().list("YOUR_SEARCH_STRING_GOES_HERE");
        list.setKey("YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE");
        list.setCx("YOUR_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID_GOES_HERE");
        Search results = list.execute();
        List<Result> items = results.getItems();

        for(Result result:items)
        {
            System.out.println("Title:"+result.getHtmlTitle());

        }

    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
