    Hi, I want to make a windows form which uses results from Google (Specifically, I want to see what other pages link to a given url).

    In the old days I would have used the Google API but now that this has been discontinued I can't use it.

    So, other than screen scraping (And I think that this is against Googles TOS) and the AJAX API is useless as I am not using a webpage are there any other ways??

    Thanks!
    Markus

    Yes - it's unfortunate that they discontinued it.

    I have asked several times and the only solution I have heard of is the one you don't want to hear... screen scraping.

    I'll look to a ajax result catching... because you can access all the results objects to do some processing/formating on it...

    just look at : http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/documentation/reference.html#_class_GwebResult

    I think that you can use the object values and push em back via ajax.... not that good.... but more reliable than results screen scraping?
