Hi,
Is it possible to use the Custom Search JSON API from Google to search the internet for cars listed for sale, then display them on my Bubble page? Or is that API meant for something else?
Thanks!
You can do it using custom search API and use “custom ranking” and you can have it only search specific keywords or sites and weight results if you want.
It’s expensive at scale though unless you have a good monetization model, free model won’t work too well for this typically.
Oh, Hi Chris! Nice to see you again.
Will the free model be enough to start it of and gain traction before deciding if I should invest in it?
And it will show the listing image, seller, car details, and price? Or is it only a superficial search?

Superficial search, if you’re trying to get data from multi car listing sites it’ll be better to use something like a scraper or api/scrape multiple sites like cars.com, carsedge & CarGurus to get most cars on market, merge dupes, and aggregate in your app.
You don’t have to have everything to start you can have 20% of stuff on market. Get users and prove concept first.
Got it. Thank you!
