Is msn search api good for my purpose?

hi there

you know, i plan to wrtie an application that will be sensitive to the news that contain some certain keywords from about 20 known web sites. First of all these news websites are not in english and use an other language . Seconed the sites publish news every 3-4 hours.

My question is that if i can use msn search api in my application to get to these goals or i have to write my own web crawler

Please help me find a best solution for this application. and if you know any other solution other than above please let me know.

thanks in advance.

Vahid

If you are only needing results from 20 known websites, I would not use the MSN search API unless you are certain that they are crawling these sites and the pages you are interested in. MSN certainly will not crawl a site every 3-4 hours though. A much better solution would be for you to crawl those sites on every 3-4 hours and index the terms yourself. That way you have complete control to add new sites or change the frequency of crawling.
