google api communication

I have, and the code is part of BottomFeeder.  However - you can't
get a key from Google anymore, so new applications using that API
aren't possible anymore...

And you can't scrape it either, basically the only thing you can do is
embed it in your pages,

You don't need to scrape HTML because Google provides a web services API.

You can talk to that API using the VisualWorks Web Services framework.

Some example code is provided in the Web Service Developer's Guide:

http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/documentation/vw7.4.1/WebServices.pdf

In particular, see the discussion of "Building a SOAP Request using a
WSDL Schema".

Also, Jim Robertson has made a screencast that shows how to do this:

Except google discontinued the api program and now only support ajax and explicitly disallow scraping of results, so you're pretty much limited to embedding the search into a webpage. I believe they let people with existing keys use api for a bit, but I doubt it will be for very long.

Cheers!
