Laravel 4.x wrapper for the Google Custom Search Engine API. This may work for Laravel 5, but has not been tested.
Note: You will need an API key and search engine configured in your Google Custom Search control panel.
composer require iatstuti/google-cse
Once installed, add the Service Provider into app/config/app.php
'providers' => array(
// ...
'Iatstuti\GoogleCse\GoogleCseServiceProvider',
// ...
),
If you wish to use an alias, set the following (also in app/config/app.php
)
'aliases' => array(
// ...
'Iatstuti\GoogleCse\Facades\LaravelFacade',
// ...
),
Lastly, publish the package configuration and update the configuration in app/config/packages/iatstuti/google-cse/cse.php
.
php artisan config:publish iatstuti/google-cse
To use the package, you can make a call to GoogleCse::search($term)
.
Calls to this this method will return an array of items from the JSON structure outlined here.
