 How can I use Google AJAX Search API in Presto Wires? All my services: 

  • doGoogleSearch
  • doSpellingSuggestion
  • doGetCachedPage

Do not work, they return nothing.
I have registered with Google for a API key for http://localhost:8080/ is that necessary?

With Regards

Let me ask a couple of basic questions:

* you've registered the Google services in Service Explorer, right? As REST services?

* did you specify your key (for localhost:8080) in the URL when you registered the services?

* did you try to invoke the services from Service Explorer? did it work?

Hi Sara, I've registered the services, and provided my key in the input field after I dragged them on canvas (is that the right place?)

The problem occurs in the Service Explorer when I try to pre-test them, so to speak.

I think Google Ajax search apis return not only data but also javascript code to render the results. You can use their REST apis to get data. For example, for web search, you can use this:

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=jackbe

(change the value of 'q' to anything)
