googlesearch

googlesearch is a Python library for searching Google, easily. googlesearch uses requests and BeautifulSoup4 to scrape Google.

Installation

To install, run the following command:

python3 -m pip install googlesearch-python

Usage

To get results for a search term, simply use the search function in googlesearch. For example, to get results for "Google" in Google, just run the following program:

from googlesearch import search
search("Google")

Additional options

googlesearch supports a few additional options. By default, googlesearch returns 10 results. This can be changed. To get a 100 results on Google for example, run the following program.

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", num_results=100)

In addition, you can change the language google searches in. For example, to get results in French run the following program:

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", lang="fr")

To extract more information, such as the description or the result URL, use an advanced search:

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", advanced=True)
# Returns a list of SearchResult
# Properties:
# - title
# - url
# - description

To also fetch sponsored results along with general search results, use the sponsored parameter:

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", sponsored=True)
# Returns a list of SearchResult
# Properties:
# - title
# - url
# - description
# - sponsored

To convert the search results to a Pandas DataFrame, use the to_df function:

from googlesearch import to_df
df = to_df(advanced_results)

If requesting more than 100 results, googlesearch will send multiple requests to go through the pages. To increase the time between these requests, use sleep_interval:

from googlesearch import search
search("Google", sleep_interval=5, num_results=200)
