Like many others, Google provides access to some of it’s services by means of webservices. Just follow the instructions at the Google web api’s site:
- download the developer’s kit
- create an account and get a licence key
- create a program
The developer’s kit contains a wsdl, webservice client libraries and some code examples for .NET and java.
For java, all you need to do is:
import com.google.soap.search.GoogleSearch;
import com.google.soap.search.GoogleSearchFault;
import com.google.soap.search.GoogleSearchResult;
import com.google.soap.search.GoogleSearchResultElement;
...
GoogleSearch search = new GoogleSearch();
search.setKey("key");
try {
search.setQueryString("sql pathetic");
GoogleSearchResult googleResults = search.doSearch();
} catch (GoogleSearchFault f){}

Hey. I am new to using Oracle BPEL Engine. How can I integrate Google APIs into a bpel process to search for an item, let say an ISBN number of a book from Nobles or Amazon. Hope to hear from you. Thanx.
Try at orablogs themselves.
Orablogs contains a ranking already (on the left side of the orablogs page)
Is there any way to find out the highest number of links pointing to all the blogs in http://www.orablogs.com? This is so that I can find which blog is the most popular blog.
