In google custom search I have set $key and $cx parameter correctly to my url
$googleApiUrl = 'https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?cx=[MYSEARCHENGINEID]&lr=lang_en&q=jeans&key=[MY_API_KEY]';
this url return data like this
{
"kind": "customsearch#search",
"url": {
"type": "application/json",
"template": "https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?q={searchTerms}&num={count?}&start={startIndex?}&lr={language?}&safe={safe?}&cx={cx?}&sort={sort?}&filter={filter?}&gl={gl?}&cr={cr?}&googlehost={googleHost?}&c2coff={disableCnTwTranslation?}&hq={hq?}&hl={hl?}&siteSearch={siteSearch?}&siteSearchFilter={siteSearchFilter?}&exactTerms={exactTerms?}&excludeTerms={excludeTerms?}&linkSite={linkSite?}&orTerms={orTerms?}&relatedSite={relatedSite?}&dateRestrict={dateRestrict?}&lowRange={lowRange?}&highRange={highRange?}&searchType={searchType}&fileType={fileType?}&rights={rights?}&imgSize={imgSize?}&imgType={imgType?}&imgColorType={imgColorType?}&imgDominantColor={imgDominantColor?}&alt=json"

I do not know how to fetch data from this in search information total result = 0.
your return-data is a json string. with php function json_decode you can easy decode the json string to an array:
$array = json_decode($return_data, TRUE);
echo $array['searchInformation']['totalResults']; // 0
