As mentioned by user @gripped
The following API works really well in terms of autocomplete and I haven't found any limits to it YET.

https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/blob/master/searx/autocomplete.py

Might be worth a look ;) Doesn't look that complex but then I can't program.

Here would be an example of implementing the autocomplete.

    import requests, json
    URL="http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&q=Hel Wor"
    headers = {'User-agent':'Mozilla/5.0'}
    response = requests.get(URL, headers=headers)
    result = json.loads(response.content.decode('utf-8'))
    print(result)

This is from Quora by: Michael Staniek Thank you!

There is no auth key or token, should work pretty well I will try to spam it for a little bit to see if there are limits.

I have run 1000 iterations ( queries ) in 2 minutes and 43 seconds.

Everything works perfectly, the API doesn't even throttle. In my example I ran ~6 queries a second.

Here is the log, https://pastebin.com/q5SNLxXV

Wow, I’m kinda shocked. I expected there to at least require an API key, if not a monthly subscription or something.

I’ll work on implementing this soon.
