Google Custom Search JSON API GET /customsearch/v1* endpoint removal

Stops workingin 56 daysSubscribe to Google Custom Search JSON APIShare

On January 1, 2027, the Google Custom Search JSON API will shut down GET /customsearch/v1* calls. Requests sent to customsearch.googleapis.com using these endpoints will fail after that day. Existing customers have until this date to transition to an alternative solution.


Calls it hits

  • GET /customsearch/v1*

What to use instead of these calls

Move to Vertex AI Search for up to 50 domains, or contact Google about its full web search solution. Transitioning requires more than updating an identifier, as Vertex AI Search is a separate Google Cloud product with its own setup and pricing.

Vertex AI Search is another Google Cloud product, with its own setup and pricing.
