Need Help. Script to pull queries from google

    Hi,

    After spending 4 days waiting for a programmer (I think programmer) to do a script for me. The script is suppose to pull data from Google searches per month

    Using https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
    and get the results online.

    The script/bot would pull data.

    the person I hired to write the script, tells me now that he can't do it.

    Is there a way to do that and please advise how complex it is or time consuming. I paid the programmer an upfront 15% fee and have been waiting 4 days, just to find out the guy can't do it via PM today.

    Advice?

    Google has systems in place to disallow bots , so when you do a large number of queries they will just ban your ip ( Ive faced it before ).
    Also the page you are scraping requires a captcha , maybe the programmer you hired could not break the captcha.

    Oh thanks for the reply, yes the person I hired could not break it. However there's a google API for it. But the problem is its paid per usage and I am offering it for free so (er, not a wise choice, when I am giving it out for free, and google charges me paid per usage).

    So looks like it wont be implimented.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Appreciate it.
