Yes. This is EXTREMELY frustrating.
Of all companies to prevent scraping, Google is the most ironic.
Especially since their goal is to organize the world's information, it shocks me that there's no way to get access to this organized information from machine to machine.
- TylerE 7y agoI d0n't really think it's inappropriate or ironic. I can easily imagine naive scrapers essentially DDOSing google.
- aledalgrande 7y agoYes, we want a Google Search API [at a decent price].
- 3xblah 7y agoPerhaps this issue will be recognised in some of the antitrust investigations. If I am not mistaken, they no longer claim "organize the world's information" as their goal.
- etaioinshrdlu 7y agoBut it still is: > https://about.google/ https://about.google/ "Our mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful."
- 3xblah 7y agoAppears I am mistaken. Cheers.
