Google Search RSS feed

(edit) | 06:35 PM | permalink | (5 comments, 0 trackbacks) | Categories: Weblogging

Somebody has to have built this already: Every few days, I monitor google hits for specific terms, such as a specific company or product name - most likely some I'm affiliated with to find out whether there is anybody linking or talking about this.
So the basic idea is this: Allow for a service that performs a search for a particular list of words, and returns the result formatted as an RSS newsfeed to be used in RSS aggregators. Preferably usable from everywhere and everyone ...
Note that I'm not talking about Googlenews, I'm aware of a service that does this (although I have lost the link).

Google Alert essentially does this http://www.googlealert.com/ . All you need is a Google API key , which means you're limited to how many queries/updates you can do.

This is one of three sources of RSS feeds I need to add to my RSS page http://www.faganfinder.com/me/ .

If anyone knows of other sources for Google RSS feeds, I'd like to hear about those.

Oops, wrong URL. Instead of /me/ it should be http://www.faganfinder.com/search/rss.shtml .

This looks like exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a lot. BTW, the current FAQ states that having one's own Google Web API key because Google has donated one for permanent use with this service.

Interesting. Nice of Google to do that.
