Limitations
Since this tool uses web scraping of Google search results, there are some important limitations to be aware of:
- Rate Limiting: Google may temporarily block requests if too many searches are performed in a short time. To avoid this:
- Keep searches to a reasonable frequency
- Use the limit parameter judiciously
- Consider implementing delays between searches if needed
- Result Accuracy:
- The tool relies on Google's HTML structure, which may change
- Some results might be missing descriptions or other metadata
- Complex search operators may not work as expected
- Legal Considerations:
- This tool is intended for personal use
- Respect Google's terms of service
- Consider implementing appropriate rate limiting for your use case
