Hello dear developpers,

I'm still quite new in the world of git, so many of the questions I ask might be stupid.

As you state in the readme, the library doesn't work anymore due to the deprecation of some API on google side.

I'm sorry to take your time like that, but I would like to take this occasion to understand a bit better what happened here : I couldn't find any reference to the Google API going down this last month.

I guess my question is two-fold :

• what happened exactly : which API is not usable anymore? (searching for Free Google API on google does yield me a lot of unrelevant results)
• Is there hope of developping a new version of this API that uses another path to get Google search results ? Seeing your tone in the forum it does not seem so and I would like to understand better why : Doesn't Google still provide a way to access his search results via API ? Is Google Custom Search not able to provide the same service ? Is this a licencing issue?

3rd bonus question - Is there another way that would have been more appropriate for me to ask this question on github ? I didn't see any PM possibilities, or anything that would look like a forum besides this page.

i'm not sure I have a point here, I just would like to understand why you abandonned this project, and if I could hope to code one by myself if I wanted to keep using it. Thanks for your attention and for the time you could

By the way, I used your library to search any term restricted to stackoverflow.com, and return me the lines between tags, in order to be able to quickly get their answers directly in my python console.

Hi

Is there to control the number of results and list them?

That's what comes back in search_response.text. In full it says, The Google Web Search API is no longer available. Please migrate to the Google Custom Search API (https://developers.google.com/custom-search/)

This module is basically dead until that change is made; you should either pull it from PyPI or at least add a note.
