Get Google CSE API Key

Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) will help you to get Google results for Cyberbro analysis.

  1. Visit Programmable Search Engine page
  2. Click on "Get a Key" to create or use an existing project and enable the Custom Search API.
  3. Copy the API key and the Custom Search Engine ID (CX) from your CSE control panel.

Info

Google Custom Search API has usage limits. The free tier allows for 100 search queries per day. For higher usage, consider enabling billing on your Google Cloud project ($5 per 1000 queries).

Set GOOGLE_CSE_KEY and GOOGLE_CSE_CX in your .env file or deployment environment.

Warning

Google is discontinuing the Custom Search JSON API on January 1, 2027 (it is already closed to new customers). To keep this engine working, set the optional GOOGLE_CSE_URL to any endpoint that implements the same Custom Search JSON API (same query parameters and response format), and use that endpoint's key as GOOGLE_CSE_KEY. If unset, Cyberbro uses Google's default endpoint https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1.
