Could you build this?
Partial A basic Puppeteer scraper is easy to vibe code, but bypassing Google's bot detection, fingerprinting, IP bans, and CAPTCHAs reliably requires specialized anti-scraping countermeasures.
What it would actually take: Requires a headless browser stack (Puppeteer-extra with stealth plugins or Playwright) packaged with residential proxy rotation and an MCP/HTTP API wrapper. The hard technical hurdle is continuously bypassing advanced bot detection (TLS fingerprinting, browser canvas/audio fingerprinting, and Cloudflare/reCAPTCHA challenges) without getting immediately blocked by Google. Requires dedicated web automation and anti-bot mitigation expertise.
