googlesearch

googlesearch is a Python library for searching Google, easily. googlesearch uses requests and BeautifulSoup4 to scrape Google.

Installation

To install, run the following command:

python3 -m pip install googlesearch-python

Usage

To get results for a search term, simply use the search function in googlesearch. For example, to get results for "Google" in Google, just run the following program:

from googlesearch import search
search("Google")

Additional options

googlesearch supports a few additional options. By default, googlesearch returns 10 results. This can be changed. To get a 100 results on Google for example, run the following program.

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", num_results=100)

If you want to have unique links in your search result, you can use the unique option as in the following program.

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", num_results=100, unique=True)

In addition, you can change the language google searches in. For example, to get results in French run the following program:

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", lang="fr")

You can also specify the region (Country Codes) for your search results. For example, to get results specifically from the US run the following program:

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", region="us")

If you want to turn off the safe search function (this function is on by default), you can do this:

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", safe=None)

To extract more information, such as the description or the result URL, use an advanced search:

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", advanced=True)
Returns a list of SearchResult
Properties:
- title
- url
- description

If requesting more than 100 results, googlesearch will send multiple requests to go through the pages. To increase the time between these requests, use sleep_interval:

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", sleepinterval=5, numresults=200)

If requesting more than 10 results, but want to manage the batching yourself? 
Use start_num to specify the start number of the results you want to get:

python from googlesearch import search search("Google", sleepinterval=5, numresults=200, start_result=10)

If you are using a HTTP Rotating Proxy which requires you to install their CA Certificate, you can simply add ssl_verify=False in the search() method to avoid SSL Verification.

python from googlesearch import search

proxy = 'http://username:password@proxy.host.com:8080/'

or for socks5

proxy = 'socks5://username:password@proxy.host.com:1080/'

j = search("proxy test", numresults=100, lang="en", proxy=proxy, sslverify=False) for i in j: print(i) ```
