google search by google api in r or python

I want to search some thing (ex:"python language") in google by python or R and it will give me the list of links for that google search like:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)
https://www.python.org/
https://www.python.org/about/gettingstarted/

Is there any api for that I went through this question How to get google search results

but problem is sometime it is working and most of the time it is not working and giving only empty list() as an output. thanks.

Disclaimer: I work at SerpApi.

You can use the google-search-results package to extract links from Google Search.

Full example at Repl.it

import os
from serpapi import GoogleSearch

params = {
    "engine": "google",
    "q": "coffee",
    "api_key": os.getenv("API_KEY")
}

client = GoogleSearch(params)
data = client.get_dict()

print("Organic results\n")

for result in data['organic_results']:
  print(f"Link: {result['link']}")

Response

    "organic_results": [
    {
      "position": 1,
      "title": "Coffee - Wikipedia",

I have used this python web search api to perform google search in python. Fairly straightforward to use and easy to install.
