Google reported through a recent post that they will end the Google SOAP Search API on August 31, 2009.

“We’d like to bid a fond adieu to one of our first developer products, the venerable SOAP Search API. It has been deprecated since 2006, when we stopped accepting new developers for the API, and it’s finally hanging up the gloves and retiring on August 31st.”

It further states:

“It has been steadily declining in usage over the last couple years and we believe that the majority of use cases are sufficiently handled by the more comprehensive AJAX Search API (which supports not only web search, but local, news, images, video, and more). For those interested in migrating, there are more details in the AJAX APIs blog.” -Tom Stocky, Director, Google Developer Products
