Google to Shut Down Custom Search API in 2027
Google announced it will discontinue its Custom Search API on January 1, 2027, giving developers nine months to migrate. The API, used for programmatic web searches, will be replaced by the Programmable Search Engine. Affected developers must transition before the deadline to avoid service disruption.

The nine-month notice is generous, but the move underscores Google's pattern of deprecating APIs, leaving developers to scramble for alternatives.
