Develop Your Own Applications
Using Google
With the Google SOAP Search API service, software developers can
query billions of web pages directly from their own computer
programs. Google uses the SOAP and WSDL standards so a developer
can program in his or her favorite environment - such as Java,
Perl, or Visual Studio .NET.
To start writing programs using Google SOAP Search API:
1 |
Download the developer's kit
The Google SOAP Search API developer's kit provides documentation and
example code for using the Google SOAP Search API service. The download
includes Java and .NET programming examples and a WSDL file
for writing programs on any platform that supports web services. |
