Google profiles search API - google-search-api

Does the Google search API support searches for Google profiles? I looked through the google code pages but could not find it. I only found an API for getting the profile data when you know the username and got permission, but could not find a search option.

Now there is a search page that can be screenscaped. An API is not yet available.

Is google custom search api gets results as similar to google assistant?

I have question regarding Google Custom Search API, is that works similar such as providing results as results provided from Google Assistant ?
our requirement is get result for user query and result should be content rather than web URL's/ links which Google Custom Search API is resulting.
Can you please suggest whether Google Custom Search API will work in getting results such as getting results from Google assistant ?
we have seen "This API brings to you the same Machine Learning technology that both powers Google’s ability to find specific answers to user questions in Google search and is the language understanding system behind the Google Assistant."
Do we get any code samples / API to utilize above system build which is used by the Google Assistant ?

Live Google search results in my website - can it be done?

I'm playing around with ideas for my dissertation.
Is it possible to get live search results from Google in my own webpage?
I found this example of a live search (similar to Twitters) but it uses it's own database, has Google got an API that I can access to pull through search results in a similar manner?
Example: http://demos.9lessons.info/instantsearch.php
Please refer to custom search JSON api. You would need Search engine ID and API key which can be obtained from Google Cloud Console.

Listing the authors of a web site according to Google?

Google allows to its users to list which web sites the contribute to. If the web-site also links to the G+ profile of the person with ?rel=authors then Google can show the avatar of the person on Google search results. See further explanations.
Is there a way to get the list of people who added a web site to their "contribute to" list?
A manual search on Google or an API?
The People.search REST API method does not appear to support searching data from the contributor fields. You can try it yourself here. The data is exposed in the response from the People.get method, but is not apparently part of the full text search.

Get information on Google knowledge graph

While searching a person's name in google , we are able to see that person's information and photo on the right.
I went through google API but couldnt find a plug to this feature.
Is there someway i can extract this information via API ?
From what I understand the Google Freebase project is an interface to Google open knowledge graph.
Freebase has been shutdown. If you want to extract the data, now you use: Google Knowledge Graph Search API.

Replacement for Google AJAX search for Local

Since Google has deprecated their old web search API as of recently, what are people using to do customized local search? (i.e. search for "donut shop" near this latitude and longitude) Sticking with the deprecated API? Using another Google API? Another provider entirely?
Their suggestion to use their new Custom Search API doesn't seem useful for local. Maybe i'm missing something under my nose?
Google Places API is in developer preview.
I personally used Yahoo! Local Search
The Yelp API is pretty slick as well -- it'll give you local search capabilities and you can also get ratings information.
I've found this Quora link quite useful:
