Retrieve old searches from Google web history

Question

I want to retrieve old Google searches which I did a few years/months back and that are present in Google web history. How can I programmatically retrieve them all?

https://www.google.com/history/?output=rss only provides recent Google searches, but not all of them.

Also this question : How can I retrieve my Google search history? doesn't provide any answer for my question!

Answer 1

You can pass month, day and year as parameters to obtain history of a specific day.

E.g. https://www.google.com/history/lookup?month=12&day=1&yr=2010&output=rss for Dec, 1 2010.

There are no ways to obtain history for a full month or year, let alone the entire history. But this information about the parameters must at least enable you to obtain the entire history in some loop which goes one day further back in the time everytime. Be carecul that you don't leech too much in a too short time.

Answer 2

You really need to parse HTML page by page and then fetch your data, because i dont think there is any alternative!
