TL;DR

The API error suggests that the request is being flagged as automated, so a workaround might involve modifying the request headers or rate limiting to mimic legitimate traffic.

Guidance

  • Verify the API request headers to ensure they are set up to identify the request as coming from a legitimate source, such as including a valid User-Agent header.
  • Check the request rate to ensure it's not exceeding Google's allowed limits, as rapid successive requests may trigger automated query detection.
  • Consider implementing a delay between requests to space them out and avoid triggering Google's protection mechanisms.
  • Review Google's support page on automated queries (https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/86640) for more information on how to comply with their policies.

Notes

The provided information does not include specific details about the API request being made, so these suggestions are based on general principles of avoiding automated query detection.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the request headers and implement rate limiting to comply with Google's policies and avoid being flagged as automated.
