I want to scrape all the urls for a particular search query but without getting blacklisted or banned by Google, how can I do it?
 
HTTP request (any language) + proxy list
Browser emulator (Selenium or BAS or Zennoposter) + proxy list
 
If it is the results for a single keyword just doing it manually is an option. If you have loads to scrape you would like be better off using a tool or service dedicated to this such as Scrapebox or one of the online Google scraping tools.

It's not a hard task to create such an application but there are aspects of it that could make it take far more time than the equivalent cost of paying an API to do it.

If I use free rotating proxies?
 
Blogpro shared a script for free as I recall. You just need the list of proxies and keywords to input.
 
Hire someone on Upwork. Pay $40. Done.

Thank me later

Unfortunately that is much more added complexity and time cost. You can do it but the last time i was involved in that was years ago and it was only getting harder and harder to find usable proxies then, I can't imagine this side of it has gotten any easier.

For a frame of reference, I have built many tools that scrape Google (Domain Hunter Gatherer, No Hands SEO, No Hands Proxies, The Free Blog Commenter and more that were for private use) scraping of SERPs is not complicated but there are no good sources of free proxies any more as they are all crawled by so many people, the proxies are wrecked the second they hit those websites. No Hands Proxies, from that list was a tool dedicated to scraping public proxies, it would even search for more sources so even that would scrape google to find pages that were new and far less likely to already be scraped.

I stopped selling No Hands Proxies many years ago (about 7 I think) as it was just not nearly as viable as it once was, I'm not in the business of selling software that doesn't work.

I would say it is going to save you so much work to use a service or software for this
 
Good option would be software like scrapebox or gsa , it has proxy support
 
Use Google Trends, Use Scraping, Use Third Party SEO Tools
 
You've already been given the correct advice about proxies, but I'll add a couple more points. Not only is the "clean IP" and the IP rotation are important, but so is the proxy's geolocation. This is because search results for the same query will differ depending on the search conducted in different countries and locations.

For not super massive scraping, free proxies might work, but you'll have much less headache with reliable paid ones. There are many proxy options available on the BHW marketplace: https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/proxies-for-sale.112/
 
Instead of scraping, you can use the Google Custom Search API. This is a legal way to get search results without the risk of getting banned.
 
You'll want to use rotating residential proxies which will give you a huge pool of IP's which will pretty much make you unlockable
 
You can use ready-made tools, for example:
- ScrapeBox
- A-parser

You only have 3 options:

1. Use Search API Services like SerpAPI, Zenserp, or ScrapingBee/

2. Scraping Directly with Rotating Proxies, but free proxies are not reliable, it's better to use a paid one

Recommendations for this method:
Change the user-agent header with each request to make your requests look like they're coming from different browsers.
Adding random delays between requests to prevent Google from detecting bots (e.g., 1-10 seconds).
Use CAPTCHA Bypass Service like 2Captcha or AntiCaptcha.
Take breaks between requests.

3. Using a python script.

i wrote my own script for that, getting around 1000 urls per minute.
 
You can build you own tool, I did that with python
