Google news API has stop maintaine for a while; however, it is still function. We just continue use it. So the question is what is the limit of query using Google News?! 1,000/day, 2,000/day, Or other number?
It's pretty limited.
Related thread: What to use now Google News API is deprecated?.
Time to think about another news source.

I am planning to use the Spotify API to fetch some data, feeding track name and artist as search keywords. However, the track name and artist data I have some parsing errors, and I was wondering if there are any methods in Spotify API that auto-corrects the keywords.
For example, Google will fetch me documents about Radiohead even if I search for 'Radiohea','Radihead', and so. Also, the Last.fm API provides a method named 'track.getCorrection', which does jobs similar to those I explained above.
Here is the explanation of the method from the official Last.fm API website:
'Use the last.fm corrections data to check whether the supplied track has a correction to a canonical track.'
Does anyone know if such method exists in Spotify API?
No, there's no auto-correction engine. The closest Spotify gets to having a search engine is the search endpoint:
You can search, for instance, like this:
query = 'radio head'
and then
query_results = sp.search(q=query, type='playlist')
would return
...u'playlist'...{u'name': u'Air/Zero 7/Thievery Corp/Radio Head/Massive Attack/Morcheeba',...
but that requires that the playlist user spelled it wrong too. That is as far as a typo can get you, I'm afraid.
A workaround is fetching the artist using the last.fm API, use its auto-correction tool and then feed this result into Spotify API, either using artist, track or search endpoints.
I highly recommend you using more than one API for your app, as each one has its own limitations.
Is it possible to fetch ads is search results using the google custom search API ?
Need this to do a simple experiment. Search something and to see if any ad appears in the results.
Is it possible to do this ?
You probably want to screen scrap the search result window. Use some tool like phantomjs and inspect the results.
You could open one Google AdWords account and there you can make sample queries and experiments and whatever you want.
Google are not really a big fan of the experiments on their front-end, on Google AdSense, on Google CSE, CSA, etc. You could try, but you might get a wrong picture - there are some protection algorithms on the front-end.
I want to display a random youtube video with a certain number of views as a gimmick for my homepage. For example; a random video with 1000 views.
I have read the documentation for the youtube data api v3 and looked for a solution. Unfortunately I dont found the right approach.
For my understanding, I need to use videos.list or search.list, but Iam not sure.
Of course I have search at google for a solution, but I only found a approach with the v2 api.
So my first question is; It is at all possbile to display a random video with a specify viewcount? I found no possibility on the v3 api for this :(
Can anybody help me to find the right way?
(sorry for my not perfect english, I hope its understandable)
There is currently no way to search by viewCount, only order the search results by viewCount, which makes searching for videos with 1000 views very difficult if not impossible since the soft limit on search results is 500 videos. :( Adding more search filters would help with this.

I'm trying to use the Google custom search engine API to query Google News. The API is working great otherwise - but I want to get News results instead of web results.
I can't find a way to either restrict the CSE to use Google News, or to ensure that my API query hits Google News rather than the web search. Does anyone know a way to achieve this?
You can use schemas from Schema.org to specify if you're only looking for articles/ blog posts.
To specify the Schema, go to Advanced settings on the Control Panel and select the required schema from here.

My question is regarding the google AJAX search api. I have been trying to figure this out by exploring their site with no luck. How can I use this API on my site but have the results only be the google results from within my site (i.e. only shows the site:mydomain.com results and NOT the results from a standard google.com search)? Is this even allowed per their terms of usage? Thanks.
You can make a Google custom search and tie it to that.
