Humm. Are there any free or more cost effective custom search APIs? I know google does not offer theirs anymore but I have seen some workarounds - I am sure you know just where you lie on the landscape, just interested in similar bots myself.
I never knew custom search gets so expensive. Even google custom is pretty outrageous and limits 10k.
I am interested in finding some new funding methods for services like cheetah - she really does provide the best bot services on steem today.
Sadly no. I've looked. It is indeed outrageous. :(
Well the costs were news to me; I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for any sort of innovation on this front. Cheetah is my favorite bot here.
