API/XMLfor Google Search Results?

Question

Technically, I know how to download pages, and use parsers to parse them. However, I'd like to know if there is an API or a simple XML format that I can use to parse their results.

Seems that Google AJAX Search API will do the trick. There is quite nice playground available so you could try few options online without too much effort.

And it seems that RESTful api is what you are looking for. You simply give a link and get back data in JSON format. It should be quite easy to find library that will turn this answer into some structured object in your favourite language [psychic power mode on] so have a look on built in stuff of Python.
