Commands

Command	Description
opencli google search <keyword>	Search Google and extract results from the page
opencli google suggest <keyword>	Get Google search suggestions
opencli google news [keyword]	Get Google News headlines (top stories or search)
opencli google trends	Get Google Trends daily trending searches

What works today

• Public API commands work without a browser:
  • suggest — JSON API, no auth needed
  • news — RSS feed, supports top stories and keyword search
  • trends — RSS feed, supports different regions
• google search uses browser mode to extract results from google.com.

Current limitations

• google search may trigger CAPTCHA in Standalone browser mode. Extension mode (with an established Chrome session) is more reliable.
• Google frequently changes its DOM structure. If search stops returning results, selectors may need updating.
• Snippet extraction may return empty for some results depending on Google's layout.

Usage Examples

# Search Google
opencli google search "typescript tutorial" --limit 10

# Get search suggestions
opencli google suggest python

# Get top news headlines
opencli google news --limit 5

# Search news for a topic
opencli google news "artificial intelligence" --limit 10 --lang en --region US

# Get trending searches in Japan
opencli google trends --region JP --limit 10

# Output as JSON
opencli google search "machine learning" -f json

Prerequisites

• suggest, news, trends do not require Chrome.
• search requires:
  • Chrome running (or Standalone mode will auto-launch)
  • For best results, use the Browser Bridge extension with an established Google session

Notes

• suggest defaults to --lang zh-CN; other commands default to --lang en.
• news supports --lang and --region parameters for localized results.
• trends traffic values are raw strings (e.g. "500K+", "1,000,000+"), not numeric.
• search output includes three result types: result (standard), snippet (featured answer box), and paa (People Also Ask).
