I'd like to write a script to search and analyze results at google.com. Recently, I've been ng looking for Google API but it seems they do not issue it to developers anymore. Is there any (likely free) library for C#(.NET) development that would allow me to search over Google with parameters?
Thanks for your response.
Google API for dotNet has been recently ported to use the WCF JSON support. I haven't used it though, so I can't say how good it is.
Anyone else having any experience with this? Is google limiting the number of queries per hour?
Yes, Google limits the number of queries per hour... All search engines do unless you have a partnership agreement with them, or pay them for the lookups.
It costs to do your queries
It is their business model to show ads. If you are just doing raw queries with no ads then they are not making money on you, and you are costing them something. Fair exchange - you want data they have, they get income from you
Published Limits
I found this in the API docs for Social queries.
to a query limit of 50,000 queries per user per day
