Domain index checking using Google API - php

Question

I am trying to build website where a user can enter his website and check his indexed pages in google.
Just like we do by site:domain.com
I am using a google API, here is the link to API (I know it's deprecated)
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=
when I use a code like
<?php
function getGoogleCount($domain) {
$content = file_get_contents('http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/' .
'search/web?v=1.0&filter=0&q=site:' . urlencode($domain));
$data = json_decode($content);
return ($data->responseData->cursor->estimatedResultCount);
}
echo getGoogleCount('stackoverflow.com');
?>
good as far as I want to know about the result counts
But the next thing I want is to list all the results on my website. I am unable to grab the results because when we write
$data->responseData->cursor->estimatedResultCount
It goes straight
But when we try to get results. I don't know how to do, just to print the idea
$data->responseData->results->[url & title & content here]
Because here results is an array. and I don't know how can I store info in an array in this case.
Have been searching for a long time but can't find anything related.....
Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

The easiest way is to use:
$data = json_decode($content, true);
That will convert objects to normal associative arrays which are probably easier to handle.
Then you access your values by something like this:
$results = $data['responseData']['results']; //array
$googleCount = $data['responseData']['cursor']['estimatedResultCount'];
Then with the results you can do something like this:
foreach ($results as $result) {
echo $result['title'].' -> '.$result['url'] . '<br />';
}
But of course if you don't like associative arrays and you prefer objects, you could do it also this way:
$data = json_decode($content);
foreach ($data->responseData->results as $result) {
echo $result->title .' -> '.$result->url.'<br />';
}
If you want to check which properties has the $result, just use print_r or var_dump.
