The Google Custom Search API lets you develop websites and programs to retrieve and display search results from Google Custom Search programmatically.

With this API, you can use RESTful requests to get either web search or image search results in JSON or Atom format.

See the available documentation here

See this one too

Note:

cx: The identifier of the custom search engine.

Visit the Google Custom Search page to create a custom search engine for testing purposes. Select the sites that you would like to include in the search and configure the other options.

Click on "control panel" and note your Search engine unique ID. This is the cx parameter used by the API.

See the full documentation here

Example:

GET https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=INSERT-YOUR-KEY&cx=017576662512468239146:omuauf_lfve&q=lectures

<script src="https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=YOUR-KEY&cx=017576662512468239146:omuauf_lfve&q=cars&callback=hndlr">
