"""Python wrapper for Google web APIs This module allows you to access Google's web APIs through SOAP, to do things like search Google and get the results programmatically. Described here: http://www.google.com/apis/ You need a Google-provided license key to use these services. Follow the link above to get one. These functions will look in several places (in this order) for the license key: - the "license_key" argument of each function - the module-level LICENSE_KEY variable (call setLicense once to set it) - an environment variable called GOOGLE_LICENSE_KEY - a file called ".googlekey" in the current directory - a file called "googlekey.txt" in the current directory - a file called ".googlekey" in your home directory - a file called "googlekey.txt" in your home directory - a file called ".googlekey" in the same directory as google.py - a file called "googlekey.txt" in the same directory as google.py Sample usage: >>> import google >>> google.setLicense('...') # must get your own key! >>> data = google.doGoogleSearch('python') >>> data.meta.searchTime 0.043221000000000002 >>> data.results[0].URL 'http://www.python.org/' >>> data.results[0].title 'Python Language Website' See documentation of SearchResultsMetaData and SearchResult classes for other available attributes.
