Viewsgoogle customsearch returns different result?
I'm trying out google customsearch api to search image and but the weird thing is my search through api returns different result than regular search through browser. for example
from apiclient.discovery import build
import pprint
import sys
api_key='xxxxxxx'
service = build('customsearch', 'v1', developerKey=api_key)
request=service.cse()
query=request.list(cx='xxxx:xxxxx',q='dogs and cats',searchType='image',imgType='photo')
result=query.execute()
pprint.pprint(result)
for i in result.get('items',[]):
print (i['link'])
running this code gives totally different result here is result from running above code

It depends on the custom search engine that you created from google console. Goto the CSE on your google console and try "View it on the web" option to test it in your browser and if the results match. Results should match.

Your normal google search will be based on a lot of info that google picks up about you. If you sign out of google and use an incognito window, it should be unaffected.
