Well the API I believe is for developers that allows up to 1,000 queries a day and you need to register and get a key before you can use it. Also be aware they can stop supporting the API at anytime!! Really nothing to get around the fact Google does not want anyone writing anything that can access their search results outside of a browser or their own API interface.
