Perform Google search with python script

Suppose you are working on a python project and you need to access some data from the web inside your python project. But you have no idea how to scrap that particular website data. In that case, you need to perform the google search.

As Python is famous for its capability to automate the stuff and solve bigger problems. Here we will also use some python libraries and perform the google search to get the required data. Find below step by step tutorial on how to perform the google search using Python Script-

Prerequisite - 

1- You must have Python installed on your system.

     Learn how to install python on your windows system.

2- Install googlesearch library (pip install google-search)and webbrowser library (pip install webbrowser) on your system.

If you already have all the prerequisite then you are almost done as you only need to write few lines of code and you can run the python code to perform google search.

Follow these simple steps-

1 - Copy the code given below and save as .py file in your system.       let's say (google-search.py).

from googlesearch import*

import webbrowser

# to search

query = input()

chrome_path = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s"

for url in search(query, tld="co.in", num=1, stop=1, pause=2):

    webbrowser.get(chrome_path).open(url)

2 - To run this code in windows open file Python IDLE and run the program from there.

3 - when you will click on the run module it will open the command window where you need to enter the keyword you need to perform google search for - (here we have entered gmail)

4 - As soon as you will type your keyword and press enter you eill see that three tabs will open on your web browser which will be first three search result of your google search.

It will only open 3 as we have taken pause value 2. We can change this value to the number of results we want to show.

NOTE-

 Linux user can directly jump to the directory of that file and open terminal and run this command python google-search.py and input the text you want to search and you will see that 3 tabs will open on your web browser.

These three websites will be the first three google search result of our search query.
