Short answer for (and to follow up on ): Google no longer uses a one-off "license key" for the old Web Search SOAP services. The supported approach today is Programmable Search Engine (Custom Search) plus the Custom Search JSON API. Official documentation is here: Custom Search JSON API overview and the Programmable Search Engine home is here: Programmable Search Engine.

Steps to get an API key and search-engine ID (cx):

  • Create a Google Cloud project and enable the Custom Search API for that project (see the Custom Search overview).
  • Create an API key in the Cloud Console under APIs & Services -> Credentials. Best practices for creating and restricting keys are described here: API keys.
  • Create a Programmable Search Engine in the Programmable Search Engine control panel, configure whether it should search the entire web or specific sites, and copy the search engine ID (cx).
  • Query the JSON API with both the API key and cx. Example request format:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=YOUR_API_KEY&cx=YOUR_CX&q=SEARCH_TERMS

Troubleshooting and cautions:

  • 403/forbidden usually means the key is invalid, the API was not enabled in the same project, or the key has restrictive application/API restrictions. Check the Cloud Console.
  • Missing results often mean the wrong cx or a Programmable Search Engine configured to specific sites only.
  • High-volume use may require enabling billing and checking quota/pricing in the API docs.
  • Never publish an unrestricted API key; restrict by HTTP referrer for browser use or by IP for server use, or keep calls server-side to protect the key.

Refer to the REST usage guide for parameter details and examples: Using the Custom Search JSON API.
