Above instructions are for the Engine ID, i thought you said you got the API? or which do you need currently?

Tcl error [goo:gle]: key "searchInformation" not known in dictionary

i created the API ealier tho and added it

ComputerTech · Post by **ComputerTech** » Sat Mar 27, 2021 6:17 pm

did you rehash after placing both Engine ID and API Key? and when creating the Engine ID did you receive the message "Engine Created Successfully" ?

EDIT

what term are you searching btw? from my past tests, searches with the keys [ ] { } ane etc don't yet work

simo · Post by **simo** » Sat Mar 27, 2021 6:22 pm

it looks like i didnt create the API key properly

You can try test your API and Engine ID wih the following URL

Code: Select all

"https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=YOUR-API-KEY-HERE&cx=YOUR-ENGINE-ID-HERE&q=SEARCH-TERM"

If it results to a page with a error, paste here that whole error and surroundings

Goga, have you grabbed the API key and Engine ID i described above? This is a Requirement, as the error you just gave, shows thst you haven't

http://forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php?p=109672#109672 << instructions

Or if you have successfully retrieved a API Key and a Engine ID, try putting this in your browser.

Code: Select all


https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=YOUR-API-KEY-HERE&cx=YOUR-ENGINE-ID-HERE&q=SEARCH-TERM

replace accordingly

You were right, I didn't enable the API Key, Now its working sufficiently,
