I want to display yahoo news based on search term I provided and for that I have searched yahoo API provides me news content.
But API or RSS feed only give me 10 or something results each time but I want Yahoo API such that it provides me all the results available and if at a time its not possible to send all results then provide me paging parameter so I can request request for other pages if available.
So can any one suggest me such Yahoo API or RSS feed?
No, you won't be able to do this:
Other non-BOSS search APIs such as Web Search, Image Search, News
Search, Related Suggestion, and Site Explorer APIs will shut down with
no further support in YQL. We plan to make these transitions and
shutdowns effective by end of [2010].
Use a modern news service instead.
As Lightness Races in Orbit pointed out, the original Yahoo search services (like News Search) were shut down in favor of BOSS.
You might check out the latest release of BOSS which does include News Search. This is now a paid service, currently at $0.10/1000 queries, and has a limit of 50 returned items for each search term.
You can also check the Bing Search API which includes a News component. I have not used this for any serious work yet but it looks like an option.
In any case, you'll probably find that these are not designed or intended for someone to create a full-blown news site on their own (as Lightness Races in Orbit mentioned), but can still be useful for specific search queries.

Google Play has Newsstand application (not available everywhere) - https://play.google.com/store/newsstand. It replaces older Currents application. It displays news/articles from many different websites/magazines/feeds.
Does any, official or unofficial, API exist, that would let me use those sources in my own application?
As far as official APIs go, unfortunately Google doesn't provide anything if their API Explorer is any indication. Google News used to have an API, but it was deprecated in 2011.
The closest thing to what I think you're looking for, assuming you want to stick with Google, would be the RSS output from Google News. You can pass an optional query parameter to search for specific topics. For example:
https://news.google.com/news?q=obama&output=rss
If you're looking for a similar service to Play Newsstand that offers an API, check out these:
Some individual sources offer APIs, such as the NYTimes and USA Today
Feedly has a nice-looking API, although I have never used it personally.
Good luck with your search!

Is there any official Google API for getting the number of "plus one" actions for a given URL?
There is this common method which doesn't seem to be using an official API.
Are we allowed to use this API at all? Even if we are, it could stop working anytime, right?
The API endpoints in the official Google+ API do all require some activity ID and thus can't give you the "plus one" count for any given URL, can they?
This is not currently a feature of our API. You can request the feature by filing it in our Issue Tracker (https://code.google.com/p/google-plus-platform/issues/entry?template=Feature%20Request%20-%20REST%20API). We use these reports and the number of Stars they receive to track developer feedback.
Also, you are correct that any method call not officially supported and documented (https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/) may change in the future as we continue to build out our APIs. Sometimes clever developers find cool ways of doing things, but we do not guarantee that unsupported features will not change.
For site analytics on your sites, you get activity on Google +1 and Share through Google analytics. You can even set up Custom Analytics to monitor this.
For the +1 widget, there is not an official API to access the counts and the APIs referenced should probably be avoided for the reasons you mention (it could stop working, may not be working correctly to begin with). I can think of a few reasons people shouldn't be able to programmatically pull analytics from any arbitrary site on the web - probably a part of the reason that this does not exist first party from Google. If you feel it's an important feature, please add or star a feature request in the issue tracker - you should add it to the widgets section.
For in-network activity on Google+ the Activities resource documents everything that is available to you when looking at content on Google+. You can, for example, +1 a post, then share the +1 and track the analytics on Google+ watching the activity if you're doing this, you should be able to use the list of "plusoners" to determine the count of people who have made +1s on a post. See it in action using the API Explorer here:

I'm using google JSON/Atom Custom Search API now. The problem is the total queries are only 100 per day. Need to pay for extra queries.
Is there any FREE Custom Search API? Maybe from Bing or Yahoo?
Thanks!
Bing.com has a free search API: http://www.bing.com/developers/s/APIBasics.html
The free search is limited to 7 requests per second per IP
Alternatives to Google Search are mainly developed for specific programming language as the following:
Searcharoo, its open source and
customisable.
http://searcharoo.codeplex.com/
lucene, from apache open source and
customisable.
http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/index.html
Bing.com has a free search API: http://www.bing.com/developers/s/APIBasics.html The free search is limited to 5000 requests.
Click here after subscribing the BING search API for test the API for developer perspective,
There is not available any api in java for search the google results. so you have only do for paid for this api and get the 1000 query for per day. and you can also visit this site for pricing policy https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview#Pricing

Is there any API available from Monster to search job based on keyword, category, location, etc. I got the below link after some googling
http://xml.monster.com/doc/
But there is no specification about job search.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated..
As of the date that this question was initially asked, they did not have a public API.
At that point, there were Yahoo Pipes that use their RSS feed, though.
Here's a site that generates links to RSS feeds on Monster.com, since it doesn't seem like there are regular RSS links available after you do a search, as there are on Indeed & SimplyHired..
As of the initial date of posting, it may have been possible to generate RSS feed links through the advanced search feature on Monster.com, but only if you have an account, since then you can save searches. This was described in How to Use Monster to Find a Job.
See the answer by Pedro Pereira, below. It appears that they may have an API as of 2013.
For more on that, you could research their documentation.
There seems to be one. Check their soap box at:
http://integrations.monster.com/Toolkit/RealtimePosting/Sample/Inventory_Query/Jobs_All for an example on how to view all jobs. There is also a request JobPosting info http://integrations.monster.com/Toolkit/RealtimePosting/Sample/Queries/Get_JobPostingInfo .
With a combination you could get jobs and info I guess.
Monster provides an RSS Feed.
It's accessible through the Monster site's standard search.
Once you do the search you'll see the rss icon link in the header to the left of "Classic Search"

Does google offer a way to programmatically see their search engine results for a certain query?
I want to build a tracking application so that a user can see what rank on the google results their website is for certain keywords.
EDIT: The behavior of the program would be: every day the program queries Google for the desired phrases, sees what position the user's websites are, and emails the users an update of their positions for their phrases.
I want to be sure to comply with Google's terms of service too.
After finding this question I have been researching as the other answers seem out of date.
The Google search API would be the obvious choice as quoted by other users however it is now been deprecated in favour of Custom Search API.
Although not obvious at first the Custom Search API does allow you to search the entire web. However the bad news is that the order of the results are not the same as a regular web search.
In conclusion it used to be possible however it is no longer. The new API (at a cost) will allow you to search the web to you will not be able to get the ranking back as required.
I know the question is Google specific, but it doesn't hurt to try out other search engines which might be more open to API integration.
Check out DuckDuckGo's API.
Try google custom search api. Get a developer API key from google and get a cx code for search engine. The procedure is given in my blog http://preciselyconcise.com/apis_and_installations/search_google_programmatically.php
Yes, Google provides a search API that you can use:
The Google AJAX Search API lets you
put Google Search in your web pages
with JavaScript. You can embed a
simple, dynamic search box and display
search results in your own web pages
or use the results in innovative,
programmatic ways. See the examples
below for inspiration.
Don't let the name fool you, this API can be used for more than just JavaScript on a webpage.
