google-cse Build Status

A wee Google CSE client. Use it to easily query your custom search engine. Supports image search.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'google-cse'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install google-cse

Usage

Set it up:

require 'google_cse'
GoogleCSE::CX = 'a-cse-identifier'
GoogleCSE::KEY = 'a-googleapis-app-key'

If you are on a rails app, you should stick the constants in an initializer

Run a search and visit the first result, 'feeling lucky' style (on a mac):

g = GoogleCSE.search('Ian Kilminster')
`open -a Safari #{g.fetch.results.first.link}`

Do the same for an image:

g = GoogleCSE.image_search('Ian Kilminster')
img = g.fetch.results.first.link
file = img.split('/').last
File.open(file,'w') {|f| f.write(open(img).read)} 
`open -a Preview #{file}`
