Visual Basic Google API Program

Problem Compiling Visual Basic Google API Program

[Sam1975]

I tried compiling Chris's program described in [webmasterworld.com...] but received the following error:

googl api SOA/XML Error!
Err # -2147204607
Server : service 'urn:googleSearch' unknown

I'm using Win98 for this (if necessary, I can do it on Win2k).

Any ideas? Also, do you know of any other VB or VB.NET source code for a rank checker in google?

Thanks.

Greetings, all! I was gone from the forums for a while, and stopped back by just in time to see a question posted about my code!

Sam1975, I was the one who wrote that program.

Win98 is fine. (The program will even run on Win95!)

The Google API is still working over here, so it must be something on your end.

Check the program for any typos. In particular, check the four init vars. Note that the GoogleNameSpaceURI should be "urn:GoogleSearch", but that the GoogleSOAPAction needs to be "urn:GoogleSearchAction". Also check that GoogleSearchMethodName and GoogleEndPoint are both correct.

And of course, make sure that you've replaced the "put your key here" with your actual API key code you got from Google.

It is posssible that Google's API was having a problem when you tried running this, but it sounds like a typo to me.
