arcgis.com search results api

[JeffEssic]

I'm looking for a way to pass a search term from another website to arcgis.com, and have the search results passed back and displayed in the originating website.  This would allow combining arcgis.com search results with other geoportal search results in one place. 

Is there an api or other means for doing this?

Thanks!

The API is not public yet, so there isn't any documentation. You could watch the requests and responses and figure it out yourself...

Is this public yet? I have only begun looking into this and haven't yet investigated the calls myself.

Yes, you want to look at the ArcGIS Portal API and possibly the JavaScript API

Thank you ! I was wondering if the portal was the same thing as ArcGIS Online.

I would like to search both ArcGIS.com for map services and/ or a subscription service (AGS Online for Organizations was what it used to be called but I think that has changed too?)

You should be able to do it. If you're working with a subscription (aka ArcGIS Online for organizations), you probably need to pass some credentials to search the organization's items. Sorry, I can't tell you how to do this. You might try cross posting in the JavaScript API forum.
