duckduckgo, icon.horse and favicongrabber.com also have their own APIs for this

I bet there is a way this could be abused in order to proxy/tunnel arbitrary requests via google IPs. Even if it's slow and must be done through e.g. PNG image data and dynamic subdomains or something, it would still be possible.
