Google scraping is like playing whack-a-mole. One day your script works, the next it’s toast.
I’ve had better luck with scraping Google Cache pages instead of live searches. Less blocking, but the data’s sometimes outdated.

If you’re getting blocked, try lowering your request rate. Like, stupidly slow. 1 request every 10-15 seconds.
It’s tedious, but google scraping still works if you’re patient. Or just use an API and save your sanity.
