Google takes legal action against serpapi

Obviously scraping is problematic to search engines and other high quality sources, but the irony here!

Google has upped its anti-scraping measures over the past year by fingerprinting clients.

  • JS required
  • Fingerprints Desktops using navigator.userAgentData.getHighEntropyValues
  • Fingerprints mobile by evaluating touch metrics
  • Basically if you switch user agents, your browser needs to behave like that user agent
