Google Search VBOs

Hi all!

So I've been working on a VBO to search in Google and pull the search result titles and links. I've been running into some issues with Google's antibot code and was wondering if anyone had found a way around that?

Is there a Google Search VBO out there already? 

Any tips or tricks to help with maneuvering through Google Search and Blue Prism?

Thanks so much,

Jess

I believe Google's user agreement forbids all kinds of web scraping.

You could use Google's custom search API for example, but it has some limitations if you want to use it for free.

looking forward to it.

Thanks all for your responses. 

A year later, I'm still looking into the best way to do this.

I know that there are Blue Prism connectors for Google APIs, but I couldn't find one for the Custom Search API. How would I go about connecting the Custom Search API to Blue Prism?

Thanks,

Jess
