returning expected results from Google - asp.net

I am building automation system to get news related to specific subject from Google.
First, I used the deprecated version Google Web Search which have less features than expected. because of that, I decided to move to the new Custom Search Engine. As you may know, Custom Search Engine doesn't return expected results.. even when using custom country domain.
I tried to scrap google results, but I see some developers saying that it's not legal and google will catch me! so, do i have any other options for getting expected results?
Note: I am using custom search engine to search the web, not for only one website.

Google Search Console API - Get HTML from URL?

I would like to know if there's a way using Google Search Console's (or Google Analytics') API to fetch the HTML of a page, given its URL. Seems pretty basic but I haven't been able to find anything myself by googling.

How to extract comments from Facebook App

In my WordPress website using Wpdevart Facebook comments plugin for embedding Facebook comment. Now I need to extract comment in an XL file. How to I can do it?
I have tried with the https://exportcomments.com tool. It can extract Facebook comment from a website URL. But it's not working properly.
Have any suggestion (code, plugin or tool) to extracting comments from the Facebook app?
That used to be possible up to and including API v3.2, as described under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/faqs#faq_1603507626630008
The comments for every URL can be accessed via the Graph API. Simply make an HTTP GET request to:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/?fields=og_object{comments}&id=<YOUR_URL>&access_token=<YOUR_TOKEN>
That doesn’t appear to work in v3.3 any more though, only results in an error message saying,
(#100) Tried accessing nonexisting field (comments) on node type (OpenGraphObject)
I can’t find an explicit mention of this in the changelog right now though.
And even in API versions prior to v3.3, it seems you can only get the created time and message (plus maybe a couple of other meta fields), but specifically from – info about the actual user making the comment – is not available any more.

Why is my Google Play Store app listing not show in Google search results?

I have my app live in Google play store for more than a week now. It is NOT available in Google Search result, even when searching with the query consisting of "exact app name + Google play store". I can get it easily when searching inside Google play store.
I have added a 1000 word app description, even submitted the app to Google search console.
Am I missing something? But that's not the real issue. I have a third party app store named https://apkpure.com in the search results with links to my app on their store.
I have not even added/submitted my app to their store. They seem to have taken everything from the Google Play store (even the screenshots + descriptions which I submitted in Play store). They are stealing the search results to google play store (which is 0). They seem to do a better job at SEO than Google Play store.
What should I do be doing ?
The issue seems to be that your app is not optimized for search engines. A quick search on Googles Dev website shows some tips to improve your search optimization Failing that, there are guides and resources available to help you improve your search rank. A major factor is popularity though.
In the Google Play store, your app gains new certification based on the number of downloads. (That's why you see the download badge in the app's page) The more downloads and positive reviews, the better search rank you will get.
If you pay to sponsor your app, you an send it to the top of the results page that way, the same way Google search ads work.
As for apkpure, if your app, or those screenshots or descriptions are copyright protected, which they are if you publish them to Google's play store, then apkpure violated copyright. Send Google a complaint, and they will handle it. That is part of why you have to pay 25 dollars for a developer account.
Best of luck to you, I hope that you can improve your search rating, and I hope your dispute is resolved.

Google CSE, Google Scholar search

So I am trying to embed a google scholar search into a WordPress site. I have the embedding part working, but how can I make the search show results only from google scholar. I have read through the tutorials google has posted, but I am not entirely sure which section I should be using.
There is an option to make the search an image search is there a way to do this for Google Scholar?
The question seems to be pretty old but my answer might help someone looking for the same.
Google scholar does not provide any official API for querying and fetching the results.
But you can achieve the same by scrapping i.e querying and then parsing the data returned by Google scholar.
There is a python parser already available which you can customize and integrate within your application using a custom plugin.
Hope it helps.

Google Analytics Super Proxy Not Displaying Japanese Character Data

I'm using Google Analytics Super-Proxy to make data from Google Analytics publicly available at our website.
Currently I have a custom query that I'm creating using Google Query Explorer. This contains the top search keywords for a particular User Type, which contains a Japanese word as well. The Japanese term is getting displayed in the Query Explorer website. But when I use the same custom query and run it on GA super proxy site, I get no data in the JSON Response. Any ideas why ?

Alok
It's probably a unicode issue. I'd recommend reporting it as a bug on the Github repo:
