reCAPTCHA-solving to use the service #417

Bug reports

# [ERROR] Connection blocked due to unusual activity. THIS IS NOT A BUG, please do NOT report it as a bug unless you have specific information that may lead to the development of a workaround. You IP address is temporarily or permanently blocked by Google and requires reCAPTCHA-solving to use the service, which googler is not capable of. Possible causes include issuing too many queries in a short time frame, or operating from a shared / low reputation IP with a history of abuse. Please do NOT use googler for automated scraping.

This happened after a couple of searches (30?) using JSON output, so something like this:

googler -n 1 --json -w site:"$WEBSITE" "$CHECKSUM"

Is there any mitigation? How often should I query?

It's trial and error. depends on Google's servers... whether your activity is automated or not.

Take a look at FlareSolverr and see if that might help.
