Is it possible to show and store the results obtained from a Google Search query? The search is performed from the commons-http client, through my webapp. My questions are:
I have heard that google changes tags and blocks scrapers. Is it correct? Any other way to do it?
It is certainly possible to scrape Google for results – many do. You can use proxies to mask your IP and avoid being blocked.
Make sure you set your user-agent to a browser.
Google doesn’t like this and provides a search API, but it is pretty useless.
