The Alexa Web Search web service offers programmatic access to Alexa's web-wide search engine.
The Making Requests chapter describes how to make web service requests to the Alexa Web Search web service. Remember that you must first have signed up for the Alexa Web Search service at http://aws.amazon.com/alexawebsearch before you can use the service.
The easiest way to get started is to use the code samples in the Resource Center for examples using Java, C#, PHP, Perl and Ruby.
Use Web Search to build search into a website or service. The service returns up to 5000 search results for a given query. The returned XML response contains up to 200 results at a time.
Use Million Search Results for research and data mining applications. The Million Search Results actions give access to 10,000,000 document URLs that match a query. The URL list can be further filtered using regular expressions.
