> Google Programmable Search
Google Programmable Search (Custom Search) provides a RESTful JSON API to retrieve web and image search results. As of 2026, the service is discontinued for new customers and will be decommissioned in early 2027. It offers 100 free queries per day for existing users.
Free tier present — value not quantified
This provider offers a free tier, but its terms don’t convert cleanly into a USD figure (e.g. request-count limits or capacity-dependent pools). We refuse to print a misleading zero here. See the note below and the official pricing page for the exact limits.
note: No public free-tier information found in the source reference; treat free-tier availability as unverified rather than confirmed absent.

$ Is Google Programmable Search safe to use?
Uprouter rates Google Programmable Search as high risk. Rated high risk. Limited or no official documentation, an opaque or anonymous operator, unstable availability, or pricing and terms that could not be independently confirmed. Relays of this kind may resell shared upstream credits or forward prompts through intermediate hops, so data-handling guarantees are weak. Risk ratings are editorial, evidence-based, and never influenced by affiliate relationships.
$ Can I use Google Programmable Search through Uprouter Connect?

risk_&_confidence
Rated high risk. Limited or no official documentation, an opaque or anonymous operator, unstable availability, or pricing and terms that could not be independently confirmed. Relays of this kind may resell shared upstream credits or forward prompts through intermediate hops, so data-handling guarantees are weak.
Confidence reflects how much verifiable evidence (official docs, probe history, community reports) backs this entry. Risk is our editorial assessment of operator reliability and terms — not financial advice.
