google customsearch returns different result?

Question

I'm trying out google customsearch api to search image and but the weird thing is my search through api returns different result than regular search through browser. for example

from apiclient.discovery import build
import pprint
import sys
api_key='xxxxxxx'
service = build('customsearch', 'v1', developerKey=api_key)
request=service.cse()
query=request.list(cx='xxxx:xxxxx',q='dogs and cats',searchType='image',imgType='photo')
result=query.execute()
pprint.pprint(result)
for i in result.get('items',[]):
    print (i['link'])

running this code gives totally different result here is result from running above code

Answer 1

Your normal google search will be based on a lot of info that google picks up about you.
