I want to do some Google searches and get the same result as I would search on www.google.se (I'm in Sweden). I've created a Google API account to get an API key here, https://code.google.com/apis/console/b/0/.
I call the API like this:
https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=KEY&cx=013036536707430787589:_pqjad5hr1a&gl=se&cr=se&googlehost=google.se&q=bästa espressomaskin&alt=json
However this gives different results from searching on "bästa espressomaskin" like I normally would, and I can't figure out why.
The second question I have is about the parameter "cx". What is it actually and what does it do? I just used the one provided at the Google API introduction site.
I also want more than 10 results, my API Console account has some dollars on it, but how do I make it possible to set my "num"-parameter to more than 10?
Thanks
cx is the Google key you get for signing up for their custom search service. It allows you to customize your search. See here for more information: https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/getting_started
As for results, Google says in their documentation that your results may vary. See here for more information: http://support.google.com/customsearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2633385
