According to the rest api documentation of the Programmable Search Engine documentation, the cx
parameter must contain the Programmable Search Engine ID. The example uses 017576662512468239146:omuauf_lfve
as example. When making our own search engine on https://cse.google.com/, it shows a hexadecimal search engine id, but when using that as the input for the cx
parameter we get a bad request error. Using our API key with the example search engine code does work, which makes me believe that we are just entering something invalid into this field. I am unsure however where we are supposed to get the information for this field otherwise. What cx code must be used in the Programmable Search Engine JSON api endpoint?
{
"error": {
"code": 400,
"message": "Request contains an invalid argument.",
"errors": [
{
"message": "Request contains an invalid argument.",
"domain": "global",
"reason": "badRequest"
}
],
"status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT"
}
}
This was likely an issue with Google's api itself not accepting the new format, as the documentation now mentions
Note: The Search Engine ID (cx) can be of different format (e.g. 8ac1ab64606d234f1)
