Hi guys, I hope this is the relevant forum to post my question/issue:
I have been scraping google for years now. Using a lot of different proxy services. About a month ago I encountered for the first time an odd thing...
When querying Google from the server we often get captcha while using the same proxy setup in browser it shows clean results without any issues (no captchas).
Serverside we use nodejs and different user agents to do the queries.
It seems to us that Google can detect the traffic from the server and serve captcha while using the same proxy ip in browser (setup as proxy) doesn't trigger the captcha. Browser in incognito mode offcourse. I have tested it with Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge, all giving clean results while the server query returns captcha.
Anyone an idea on how tackle it? It's obvious that only user agent isn't enough. Thanks in advance for any ideas!
