## :warning: Warning

The implementation relies on Google's search page DOM being constant. From time to time, Google changes their DOM and thus breaks the implementation.

In the event it changes, this package will be updated as soon as possible.

Also note, that if you call this function too quickly, Google detects that it is being scraped and produces a [recaptcha](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/v3.html) which interferes with the scraping. **Don't call it in quick succession. It may take some time before Google unlocks you.**

You can try the built-in [rate-limiter](https://godoc.org/github.com/rocketlaunchr/google-search#RateLimit).
