Need help extracting green url's from google results pages

I am looking for a program/way to extract the green urls out of
multiple pages of google results. Anybody know a (non technical idiot
proof) way to do this or maybe a search engine which gives only urls as
its results and accepts various filter operators like google does?.....

thanks..........A

I suggest you have a look at: http://gada.be/

This includes, to some level, results from all the major search engines
and far beyond that. It also returns results as feeds, which are easy to
parse and get the URL's out of. By the way, your phrasing of the problem
was rather poor, so I can't be sure if that's truly what you have been
looking for.

Somebody is already doing similar work, but he assembles the results as
XML objects:

Hope it helps,

The URL's that Google list at the bottom of the snippets are green.

Aaargh. I thought is was some type of URL (like environment friendly :-D).
Extracting those is a piece of cake: either scrape Google itself (against
the policy of Google), or use the Google API.

I write stuff like that for a living :-)

:-) Yep ECO friendly....or mine is. I recycle.

Yeah, I was thinking this person might want to scrape so I just ignored it.
Can you make the URL's non-green? :-)

Yes, if you use Firefox you can install something called GreaseMonkey (an
extension), see http://johnbokma.com/greasemonkey-tmp.png (note the monkey
in the right bottom of the window).

I changed some of the green URLs into pink

The other effect is what the script originally does (I added the pink
stuff), and I think it's quite useful, although it has some limitations
(in the script, which I should fix). Another thing I want this script to
do is number each result.

Hmm, I have firefox on my other computer...not this one it is the laptop.

Yeah, that would be helpful. I don't know why they don't put #'s on them. It
would make it so much easier when you are looking at 100 results at a
time.:-) That way it is easier to see that you are #15 instead of counting.

If the OP wants to scrape then Green URLs are class=fl anchor elements
so it is pretty easy but obviously either Roy's ideas above or the
Google API are the way to go.

I wonder why the OP wants to do this?

Don't know. I was thinking just listing the snippets without the green URL's
on a site is the plan. In other words using other people's info for content.
:-) And the question would have got info on how to go about doing this also.
