Not Another Google Search

Not another Google searching library. Just kidding - it is.

Made for educational purposes. I hope it will help!

Future plans:

• ability to set/rotate search parameters, user agents, and proxies without reinitialization.

How to Install

Standard Install

pip3 install nagooglesearch

pip3 install --upgrade nagooglesearch

Build and Install From the Source

Run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/ivan-sincek/nagooglesearch && cd nagooglesearch

python3 -m pip install --upgrade build

python3 -m build

python3 -m pip install dist/nagooglesearch-8.2-py3-none-any.whl

Usage

Standard

Default values:

nagooglesearch.GoogleClient(
	tld = "com",
	homepage_parameters = {
		"btnK": "Google+Search",
		"source": "hp"
	},
	search_parameters = {
	},
	cookies = {
	},
	user_agent = "",
	proxy = "",
	max_results = 100,
	min_sleep = 8,
	max_sleep = 18,
	debug = False
)

Only domains without they keyword google and not ending with the keyword goo.gl are accepted as valid results. The final output is a unique and sorted list of URLs.

Google frequently changes cookies, so you may need to specify your own if the default ones no longer work.

Default cookies can be found here.

Example, standard:

import nagooglesearch

# the following query string parameters are set only if 'start' query string parameter is not set or is equal to zero
# simulate a homepage search
homepage_parameters = {
	"btnK": "Google+Search",
	"source": "hp"
}

# search the internet for additional query string parameters
search_parameters = {
	"q": "site:*.example.com intext:password", # search query
	"tbs": "li:1", # specify 'li:1' for verbatim search (no alternate spellings, etc.)
	"hl": "en",
	"lr": "lang_en",
	"cr": "countryUS",
	"filter": "0", # specify '0' to display hidden results
	"safe": "images", # specify 'images' to turn off safe search, or specify 'active' to turn on safe search
	"num": "80" # number of results per page
}

# if the default cookies no longer work, specify new ones
# if left empty, the default ones will be used
cookies = {
}

client = nagooglesearch.GoogleClient(
	tld = "com", # top level domain, e.g., www.google.com or www.google.hr
	homepage_parameters = homepage_parameters, # 'search_parameters' will override 'homepage_parameters'
	search_parameters = search_parameters,
	cookies = cookies,
	user_agent = "curl/3.30.1", # a random user agent will be set if none is provided
	proxy = "socks5://127.0.0.1:9050", # one of the supported URL schemes are 'http[s]', 'socks4[h]', and 'socks5[h]'
	max_results = 200, # maximum unique URLs to return
	min_sleep = 15, # minimum sleep between page requests
	max_sleep = 30, # maximum sleep between page requests
	debug = True # enable debug output
)

urls = client.search()

if client.get_error() == "REQUESTS_EXCEPTION":
	print("[ Requests Exception ]")
	# do something
elif client.get_error() == "429_TOO_MANY_REQUESTS":
	print("[ HTTP 429 Too Many Requests ]")
	# do something

for url in urls:
	print(url)
	# do something

If max_results is set to, e.g., 200 and num is set to, e.g., 80, then, maximum unique URLs that could be returned could actually reach 240.

Check the list of user agents here. For more user agents, check scrapeops.io.

Shortest Possible

Example, shortest possible:

import nagooglesearch

urls = nagooglesearch.GoogleClient(search_parameters = {"q": "site:*.example.com intext:password"}).search()

# do something

Time Sensitive Search

Example, do not show results older than 6 months:

import nagooglesearch, dateutil.relativedelta as relativedelta

def get_tbs(months):
	today = datetime.datetime.today()
	return nagooglesearch.get_tbs(today, today - relativedelta.relativedelta(months = months))

search_parameters = {
	"tbs": get_tbs(6)
}

# do something

User Agents

Example, get all user agents:

import nagooglesearch

user_agents = nagooglesearch.get_all_user_agents()
print(user_agents)

# do something

Example, get a random user agent:

import nagooglesearch

user_agent = nagooglesearch.get_random_user_agent()
print(user_agent)

# do something
