Develop Your Own Applications
Using Google
With the Google Web APIs service, software developers can query
more than 2 billion web documents 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 Web APIs:
| 1 |
Download the developer's kit
The
Google Web APIs developer's kit provides documentation and
example code for using the Google Web APIs service. The download
includes Java and .NET programming examples and a WSDL file
for writing programs on any platform that supports web
services. |

you must create
a Google Account and obtain a license key. Your Google
Account and license key entitle you to 1,000 automated queries
per day. |

| 3 |
Write your program using
your license key
Your program must include your
license key with each query you submit to the Google Web APIs
service. Check out our Getting
Help page or read the FAQs for
