Re^2: Check if your site's been banned with Google

Note that the google SOAP API that Net::Google uses is no longer taking on new participants (from http://code.google.com/apis/soapsearch/:)

As of December 5, 2006, we are no longer issuing new API keys for the SOAP Search API. Developers with existing SOAP Search API keys will not be affected.

Google recommends using their AJAX API instead. I don't know if that could be used for command line tools.

Oddly enough, the Google AJAX API FAQ lists 15 questions, but only contains 7 answers. From a previous reading of the rules of use, you specifically were NOT to use it on anything other than a website, and you were not allowed to do anything other than present the information directly as returned by Google. ... unfortunately, answers #9 and #11 aren't listed right now. (of course ... would it then be ethical to scrape that website that you created?) Update: 9 and 11, not 8 and 11.	[reply]
