trying out google custom search engine

Tag: api, del.icio.us, google, python, rssdenis @ 3:07 am

I’m playing around with the latest Google product tonight, namely Custom Search Engine. I tried to import some del.icio.us accounts in it and the results are interesting: it can be a nice way to search through your bookmarked pages. To do so I created a little CSE Python API (ok, it’s not really an API since it only supports CSE creation) but maybe someone will improve it. You may use it from the command line to create a CSE from any RSS feed:

python rss2cse.py gaccount_username gaccount_passwd http://del.icio.us/rss/popular

or create a better del.icio.us integration (with tags as keywords, parsing each pages, etc) using the GCSE class.
