That's not even remotely the same thing. An API would come with all sorts of additional data about each entry, and actually contain each entry... unlike a search for 'clothes' which stops a few hundred pages deep (eg, a few thousand urls).
Do you really think the word 'clothes' only appears 3000 times on the entire web?!
The output would be your list from Google. The input would be whatever list of relevant pages you think might exist and your algorithm for searching them. The same amount of work as recreating Google without any hints.
