Cannot Set Proxies To Run & Getting Blocked By Google Captcha

Open

I am running into an issue where the cookies expire and I get blocked by Google captcha after running about 20 actions using this actor. I would like the ability to use proxies and more specifically my own rotating proxies so that I can circumnavigate this issue.

I updated the actor and included it in the updated proxy. You can now use your proxy if you want, or you can use an Apify proxy. However, sometimes Apify proxy does not work if you don't upgrade your account.

Regarding your issue, to avoid captchas, do not directly search using a query like: https://www.google.com/search?q=Ultimate+Screenshot. This triggers Google's captcha protection.

  • Instead, follow these steps:
  1. Perform the search manually on Google.
  2. copy the resulting URL, which contains multiple query parameters, for example:

https://www.google.com/search?q=Ultimate+Screenshot&oq=Ultimate+Screenshot&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQRRg9MgYIAhBFGD0yBggDEEUYPdIBBzYzNmowajGoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&sei=WIyWZ6XgKrSX9u8Pq_HHmQs

  1. Modify the q= parameter for subsequent queries, such as:

https://www.google.com/search?q=What+is+Today?&oq=Ultimate+Screenshot&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQRRg9MgYIAhBFGD0yBggDEEUYPdIBBzYzNmowajGoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&sei=WIyWZ6XgKrSX9u8Pq_HHmQs

Tips for Better Results:

  1. Change the Device
    Using different devices increases the chances of bypassing Google blocks.
    For instance, you may achieve better results by simulating a BlackBerry PlayBook device.
  2. Randomize Query Parameters
    Alter other properties in the URL (like oq=, gs_lcrp=, and sei=) to further mimic real user behavior and reduce detection.
    I hope this was helpful to you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
    Peace.
