Google Custom Search API Alternative (CSE JSON)
Pricing
from $4.00 / 1,000 searches
Drop-in replacement for Google's Custom Search JSON API, which shuts down on 1 January 2027: the same /customsearch/v1 parameters and JSON (items with title, link, snippet; image search too) from live Google results. No 10,000-a-day cap. $5 per 1,000 searches, Google's own price.
