NodeJS - Google 搜索 API 没有返回任何内容

Question

I'm using NodeJS and I'm trying to perform a Google search.

I'm using the google package . Here is my code:

const google = require('google');
google.resultsPerPage = 25;

        google('wikipedia', function (err, res) {
            if (err) console.log(err);
        });
            console.log(res.links);
        });

And res.links is an empty array. I made the search manually, with the exact link used by the node app (which is https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=wikipedia&start=0&sa=N&num=25&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&gws_rd=ssl ), and I get results.

Do you have any idea why it's not returning anything?

Answer 1

First You have a syntax error

It should be

const google = require('google');

google.resultsPerPage = 25;

google('wikipedia', function (err, res) {
    if (err) console.log(err);
    else {
        console.log(res.links);
    }
});

Second, if you check the package's Github page, it seems that the it does not work anymore https://github.com/jprichardson/node-google/issues/65 and they are suggesting using https://www.npmjs.com/package/google-it instead.
