Google to RSS

Google searching to RSS. Very useful, this: it allows you to subscribe to a search request, so you can see things coming in and out of the Google top ten. Easy to use too, simply add your search request to the end of this URL:

http://www.benhammersley.com/tools/googlerss.cgi?q=

for example

http://www.benhammersley.com/tools/googlerss.cgi?q=ben%20hammersley

and subscribe to that URL in your fave newsreader.

Note that I’m running this from my own Google API key, which has a limit of 1000 queries a day. If you’d like to help out, you can get your own key and use it with your own queries. Add it to the url with a &k=123456789 attribute, like this:

http://www.benhammersley.com/tools/googlerss.cgi?q=ben%20hammersley&k=123456789
