MozBot Google BotModule
Saturday, Jan 17. 2009 – Category: Songbird
Partly for fun, I threw together a MozBot to hang out in #songbird this week. One of the things I ended up doing was making a minor re-write of the Google.bm BotModule to use Google’s AJAX/REST API (available via the REST::Google::Search CPAN module) since the previously used SOAP API has been deprecated.
For anyone interested, you can grab the code here.
Update: I forgot to mention, this Google BotModule includes the totally awesome GoogleFight feature. 
Sadly, we use this on #songbird way too often.

It’s worth submitting the changes to Bugzilla (Webtools::Mozbot) for inclusion in Mozbot proper.

@Samuel: Yeah I’d like to… do you know who is maintaining Mozbot these days? All the pages I looked at seemed to pretty out of date. I got the impression it was stale code..

I do.
As of a few months ago. See http://www.psychoticwolf.net/blog/2008/12/ifitsunownedyoumaybuyit.php
As for the website being old (yeah the last release really was 2002.) I’m working on it.

Hey Wolf – I filed and attached the updated module to bug 474241.
January 19th, 2009 at 23:44
In case you’re interested I thought I’d let you know that I have a patch that extends it to search maps, video, images and news. Thanks again for releasing this.

As of last night, this module is now part of mozbot, and will be included in the upcoming Mozbot 2.6. Thanks again for the work.
@Jesse: As ss said in comment #1, file a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.org and attach your patch there. Thanks.
