Does Google have a public API to check for URL delisting, or are you thinking about bending the search API for that?

If I were to try to implement this, I'd safely assume any link I'm asked to delist, Google was also asked to delist. Therefore, if I can't find it in Google Search with a query where the page in question should be the top or only result, it means Google delisted it.

That being said, I don't feel anyone should assume Google's decisions are inherently right, and do something just because Google did it.
