GET /customsearch/v1/siterestrict → endpoint removal

Google APIs

Stopped working

On January 8, 2025, the endpoint GET /customsearch/v1/siterestrict stopped working. Calls to this endpoint now fail. The API ceased to serve traffic on that date.


Calls it hits

  • GET /customsearch/v1/siterestrict

What to use instead of these calls

Move the site-restricted search to Vertex AI Search on Google Cloud. Transitioning requires more than updating an identifier, as Vertex AI Search is a separate product with its own setup and pricing.

Vertex AI Search is another Google Cloud product, with its own setup and pricing.

In Google APIs's words

The Custom Search Site Restricted JSON API will cease to serve traffic on January 8, 2025, requiring customers to transition to Google Cloud's Vertex AI Search.
