The first author of this program is Peteris Krumins, but there are some problems 1, for Chinese support some of the problems, 2, based on the key search will return failure, such as "inurl:asp? Id=1" will return failure. 3, the returned result is not complete Therefore, repair the bug, 1 and 3 modification is very simple, keyword search research for a long time, after compared with sqlmap program, keyword search Google control is very strict, verify the need to join the cookie **************************************************************************************** This is a Google library called 'xgoogle'. Current version is 1.3. It's written by Peteris Krumins (peter@catonmat.net). His blog is at http://www.catonmat.net -- good coders code, great reuse. The code is licensed under MIT license. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the moment it contains: * Google Search module xgoogle/search.py. http://www.catonmat.net/blog/python-library-for-google-search/ * Google Sponsored Links Search module xgoogle/sponsoredlinks.py http://www.catonmat.net/blog/python-library-for-google-sponsored-links-search/ * Google Sets module xgoogle/googlesets.py http://www.catonmat.net/blog/python-library-for-google-sets/ * Google Translate module xgoogle/translate.py http://www.catonmat.net/blog/python-library-for-google-translate/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is an example usage of Google Search module: >>> from xgoogle.search import GoogleSearch >>> gs = GoogleSearch("catonmat") >>> gs.results_per_page = 25 >>> results = gs.get_results() >>> for res in results: ... print res.title.encode('utf8') ... output: good coders code, great reuse MIT's Introduction to Algorithms, Lectures 1 and 2: Analysis of ... catonmat - Google Code ... The GoogleSearch object has several public methods and properties: method get_results() - gets a page of results, returning a list of SearchResult objects. property num_results - returns number of search results found. property results_per_page - sets/gets the number of results to get per page. property page - sets/gets the search page. A SearchResult object has three attributes -- "title", "desc", and "url". They are Unicode strings, so do a proper encoding before outputting them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is an example usage of Google Sponsored Links Search module: >>> from xgoogle.sponsoredlinks import SponsoredLinks, SLError >>> sl = SponsoredLinks("video software") >>> sl.results_per_page = 100 >>> results = sl.get_results() >>> for result in results: ... print result.title.encode('utf8') ... output: Photoshop Video Software Video Poker Software DVD/Video Rental Software ... The SponsoredLinks object has several public methods and properties: method get_results() - gets a page of results, returning a list of SearchResult objects. property num_results - returns number of search results found. property results_per_page - sets/gets the number of results to get per page. A SponsoredLink object has four attributes -- "title", "desc", "url", and "display_url". They are Unicode strings, don't forget to use a proper encoding before outputting them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is an example usage of Google Sets module: >>> from xgoogle.googlesets import GoogleSets >>> gs = GoogleSets(['red', 'yellow']) >>> results = gs.get_results() >>> print len(results) >>> for r in results: ... print r.encode('utf8') ... output: red yellow blue white ... The GoogleSets object has only get_results(set_type) public method. The default value for set_type is SMALL_SET, which makes it return 15 related items or fewer. Use LARGE_SET to get more than 15 items. This get_results() method returns a list of related items that are represented as unicode strings. Don't forget to do the proper encoding when outputting these strings! Here is an example showing differences between SMALL_SET and LARGE_SET: >>> from xgoogle.googlesets import GoogleSets, LARGE_SET, SMALL_SET >>> gs = GoogleSets(['python', 'perl']) >>> results_small = gs.get_results() # SMALL_SET by default >>> len(results_small) 11 >>> results_small [u'python', u'perl', u'php', u'ruby', u'java', u'javascript', u'c++', u'c', u'cgi', u'tcl', u'c#'] >>> >>> results_large = gs.get_results(LARGE_SET) >>> len(results_large) 46 >>> results_large [u'perl', u'python', u'java', u'c++', u'php', u'c', u'c#', u'javascript', u'howto', u'wiki', u'raid', u'dd', u'linux', u'ruby', u'language', u'xml', u'sgml', u'svn', u'kernel', ...] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is an example usage of Google Translate module: >>> from xgoogle.translate import Translator >>> >>> translate = Translator().translate >>> print translate("Mani sauc Pēteris", lang_to="ru").encode('utf-8') Меня зовут Петр >>> print translate("Mani sauc Pēteris", lang_to="en") My name is Peter >>> print translate("Меня зовут Петр") My name is Peter The "translate" function takes three arguments - "message", "lang_from" and "lang_to". If "lang_from" is not given, Google's translation service auto-detects it. If "lang_to" is not given, it defaults to "en" (English). In case of an error the "translate" function throws "TranslationError" exception. Make sure to wrap your code in try/except block to catch it: >>> from xgoogle.translate import Translator, TranslationError >>> >>> try: >>> translate = Translator().translate >>> print translate("") >>> except TranslationError, e: >>> print e Failed translating: invalid text The Google Translate module also provides "LanguageDetector" class that can be used to detect the language of the text. Here is an example usage of LanguageDetector: >>> from xgoogle.translate import LanguageDetector, DetectionError >>> >>> detect = LanguageDetector().detect >>> english = detect("This is a wonderful library.") >>> english.lang_code 'en' >>> english.lang 'English' >>> english.confidence 0.28078437000000001 >>> english.is_reliable True The "DetectionError" may get raised if the detection failed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version history: v1.0: * initial release, xgoogle library contains just the Google Search. v1.1: * added Google Sponsored Links Search. * fixed a bug in browser.py that might have thrown an unexpected exception. v1.2: * added Google Sets module v1.3: * added Google Translate module * fixed a bug in browser.py when KeyboardInterrupt did not get propagated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's it. Have fun! :) Sincerely, Peteris Krumins http://www.catonmat.net
