Hi
I am using REST API call to query google search via https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch
I understand API has some limitations such as only being able to return 10 results at a time. So, for a query that returns 100 results, I need to re-run the API call 10 times to gather all the Links.
Here is my issue.
Lets say the total search results is 100 from my query.
htps://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1key=1234567890&cx=123&q=testnum=10&start=1
I then re-run the query with &start=11 so I get the next 10 links.
I noticed that each time you change the &start value the total number of results becomes less and less. For example., I started with 100 but now after changing the &start parameter, I now get 10 search results.
What happened to the other 90? If they have been dismissed, why? And how can I get the full list of links from my first query so I can see which links have been dopped?
What logic is Google using to reduce the number of total results when all I'm doing is moving from the first 1-10 to 11-20 and then 21-30 etc.
I hope this makes sense, some guidance would be very helpful.
Thanks
