NAME WebService::Google::Suggest - Google Suggest as an API SYNOPSIS use WebService::Google::Suggest; my $suggest = WebService::Google::Suggest->new(); my @suggestions = $suggest->complete("goog"); for my $suggestion (@suggestions) { print "$suggestion->{query}: $suggestion->{results} results\n"; } DESCRIPTION WebService::Google::Suggest allows you to use Google Suggest as a Web Service API to retrieve completions to your search query or partial query. This module is based on Adam Stiles' hack (http://www.adamstiles.com/adam/2004/12/hacking_google_.html). METHODS new $suggest = WebService::Google::Suggest->new(); Creates new WebService::Google::Suggest object. complete @suggestions = $suggest->complete($query); Sends your $query to Google web server and fetches suggestions for the query. Suggestions are in a list of hashrefs, for example with query "Google": @suggestions = ( { query => "google", results => 122000000 }, { query => "google toolbar", results => 2620000 }, ... ); Note that "results" value does NOT contain commas and "results" text. ua $ua = $suggest->ua; Returns underlying LWP::UserAgent object. It allows you to change User-Agent (Windows IE by default), timeout seconds and various properties.
