Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• Flask
• Requests
• BeautifulSoup4
• LXML
• python-dotenv

Installation (Heroku)

Deploy to Heroku with one click by clicking the button below:

A Google API Key and a Custom Search Engine ID is required to complete the installation, both of which can be generated here and here.

Once the installation is complete, grab the APP URL and add it to ChatGPT Plugin installation page. To do this, click the "View" button at the bottom of the page, and copy the URL from the address bar.

Installation (Local)

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Sogody/google-chatgpt-plugin.git

cd google-search-plugin

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

• On Linux and macOS:

  python3 -m venv venv
  source venv/bin/activate

• On Windows:

  python -m venv venv
  venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install the required packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Create a .env file in the project directory with the following content:

GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_api_key
CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID=your_custom_search_engine_id

Replace your_google_api_key and your_custom_search_engine_id with your actual API key and custom search engine ID.

You can create your Google API KEY in https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials.

You can get your custom search engine id in https://cse.google.com/cse/create/new.

Usage

1. Run the Flask app:

python main.py

2. Access the app at http://localhost:5000/.

3. To search using the Google Custom Search API and fetch the inner text of the first link in the search results, send a GET request to the /search endpoint with the query parameter q:

http://localhost:5000/search?q=your_search_query

Replace your_search_query with your actual search query.

Deploy

For compatibility with ChatGPT, deploy the plugin on a publicly accessible host. Deployment steps vary depending on the platform, however, at the end, you need to enter the domain name (and possibly port if deploying to a non-standard port) at ChatGPT Plugin installation page.
