get the top stories by the News Search API

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Now, I want to get the top stories by the news search API. As I tested, I can 
search something by the api, and restrict the search content (e.g. from top 
stories topic or Bussiness topic). 
But what I want to get are all top stories or Business stories, not focus on 
the search keyword. 

Thanks, 
Gavin

Look in the documentation at the topic argument for the RESTful side and the 
.setRestriction() method on the Javascript side. You can use that to get the 
top stories in various sections.

Thanks for your response. I am using Javascript now. 
I find there is the .setRestriction() method to restrict the search result. But 
my question is, for the search API, I have to point out something to search in 
method: execute()(e.g. execute("sports")), and then restrict the result 
according to the .setRestriction() method, whether I can get the top stories 
directly? and needn't point out something to search?

Thanks, 
Gavin
