Hey guys,
Today I suddenly noticed that Google keywords scraping feature in my software didn't work anymore. Quick check with Wireshark showed me that Google has changed the address where it takes the suggestions for search keywords. I'm not sure if this is permanent but I think so.
Just wanted to tell you that if your favorite keyword scraper doesn't work anymore you just have to wait for the developer to find out the new address and update the tool
If it helps anyone here's the old and new addresses for keyword scraping:
[OLD] http://clients1.google.com/complete/search?hl=en&gl=&q=[KEYWORD]
[NEW] http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?output=firefox&client=firefox&hl=en-US&q=[KEYWORD]
I hope that this helps some developers to quickly update their software! Oh and one more thing. At least for me the output is a little different so I also had to update the parser to get the keywords out from the response message.
PM me if you need help with updating or something.
