[Mono-list] Google Search API help needed

[Ben Joldersma]

Lensman,
Are you trying to do this in a browser?  Or in a desktop or a server
application?  If in a browser, you don't really need to use mono/.net - you
should be able to connect directly to google's search api via javascript.

If in a desktop/server environment, you can us James Newton-King's JSON.Net
library, http://james.newtonking.com/pages/json-net.aspx to parse any json
output.  As far as executing the requests, try using the WebRequest and
WebResponse objects:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webrequest.getresponse(VS.80).aspx

this link will take you a good direction.

good luck!
