How do I get started with the Google Web APIs?

Google exposes their databases via a Web Services interface which allows you to incorporate Google search capabilities into your Web Services enabled applications.

With every query, you have to provide a licence key that is emailed to you when you sign-up. You are allowed to perform 1,000 queries a day, 10 results per query. To hide all the SOAP stuff, Google provides a easy-to-use wrapper.

- Download the Developer's kit
- Create a Google account to get a licence key

Here's an example. Double-clicking the URL title will open a browser. Make sure googleapi.jar is in your classpath.
