I have implemented google custom search (https://developers.google.com/custom-search/json-api/v1/reference/cse/list#request) that searches flickr and other sources on my site and now suddenly it gives me very wierd results.
My query looks like this (key and search engine id removed)
https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?num=10&rights=cc_attribute&searchType=image&safe=high&key={key}&cx={searchengine}&q=cat&start=1
So a search on 'cat' obviously gives totalResult:219000 in the response. I get 10 result per request but when I use start=11
https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?num=10&rights=cc_attribute&searchType=image&safe=high&key={key}&cx={searchengine}&q=cat&start=11
I get totalResults:12!
What am I doing wrong? This used to work.

I am using the Mendeley API to retrieve documents in the profile of a user.
Specifically, I am using this API:
GET https://api.mendeley.com/search/documents?view=all&limit=25&title=ONTOLOGY
I would like to search for all the documents that match a partial term, i.e. instead of the full word "ONTOLOGY" I would like to get the same result if I do an HTTP call like
GET https://api.mendeley.com/search/documents?view=all&limit=25&title=ONTOLO
How can I achieve that?
Should I put any jolly character?
I tried
ONTOLO*
ONTOLO$
ONTOLO?
with no luck.
I haven't found any documentation related to this feature.
Thanks!!
using google custom API, I have a problem when I try to get results of more than 100.
I got an error as shown below. The code I am using is below:
res = service.cse().list(
q='lectures',
cx='my custom search engine id',
num=10,
start=100,
).execute()
I want to extract several pages every day.I got this error.
HttpError 400 when requesting .. "Invalid Value">
if I make the start=90 or less it works!
From the documentation for the Google Custom Search API:
https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/using_rest
This role is not present if the current results are the last page.
Note: This API returns up to the first 100 results only.
I'm trying to figure out how to force google custom search to give me back 20 results per page.
I've tried to send this REST request configuring my new Custom Search Engine to:
Standard edition: Free, ads are required on results pages.
https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=AIzaSyCgGuZie_Xo-hOECNXOTKp5Yk7deryqro8&cx=015864032944730029962:5ipe0q27hgy&q=test&alt=json&num=20
IT NOT WORKS!
but
https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=AIzaSyCgGuZie_Xo-hOECNXOTKp5Yk7deryqro8&cx=015864032944730029962:5ipe0q27hgy&q=test&alt=json&num=10
IT WORKS!
But reading documentation at
https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/xml_results#numsp
it says that:
Optional. The num parameter identifies the number of search results to return.
The default num value is 10, and the maximum value is 20. If you request more than 20 results, only 20 results will be returned.
Note: If the total number of search results is less than the requested number of results, all available search results will be returned.
Someone has experienced this problem?
PS: I've tried also to send that REST request configuring my new Custom Search Engine to:
Site Search: Starts at $100 per year, ads are optional on results pages.
But nothing has changed no way to obtain 20 results in a request/page
This documentation url has descriptions of each parameter. It also says num is restricted to integers between 1 and 10, inclusive.

Google Analytics API: how to extract pageviews for a specific page?
I tried using something like
ga:pagePath=~page.php%3fid%3d44 (page.php?id=44)
but it doesn't seem to work... I get "no results found" where I have 20 pageviews for sure
UPDATE
I think I found the solution
ga:pagePath==/website/page.php?id=44
for some reason I had to include the complete path and ==
To use a partial path to match for a page in filters you should use
ga:pagePath=#page.php?id=44
=# tells ga to match a substring.
What you were originally using was incorrect for this.
I think your problem is that you put the hex version of the ? and = characters into your query, which doesn't match how Analytics stores the page paths. If you change these to the normal characters it should work:
ga:pagePath=~page.php?id=44
Your other solution should work as well but is a bit more inflexible in case you wanted to tweak the query to return other pages.
I am making some PHP code which takes a given search phrase and url and searches through the google search results until it finds the url (only first 100 results). My problem is, this is only working for the US. I have tried adding the "&cr=" option, but it still on returns US results.
The full URL I am using for the request is:
https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=API_KEY&cx=CX_VALUE&q=KEYWORD&cr=COUNTRY&alt=JSON
Does anyone have any experience with this? I want to be able to see UK results. Tried inserting &cr=countryUK , but still only does US results.
Thanks :)

Use the gl=<country code> param to limit it to your country of choice (so gl=gb for the uk).
