Google sues SerpApi for scraping the Google search results. "Google called SerpApi's "business model is parasitic," adding "SerpApi uses automated means to scrape these other services." This generates "billions of artificial requests and then copying and selling the responses. SerpApi does not compensate the services it scrapes for the output or for the costs of responding to the massive burdens their automated processes impose on the services’ computer infrastructures." https://www.seroundtable.com/google-sues-serpapi-40631.html
