Automating Google searches?

Hey ​@donkos , have you tried the HTTPv2 Action?

Seconding this.

With the HTTPv2 integration and Execute HTTP Query, try something like this, where the principal.hostname placeholder is what you want to Google:

Results:

Google will likely see these are automated in time and request a CAPTCHA, preventing the search from returning. To get around that, I would recommend registering for the Google Custom Search JSON API. From there, change the URL to https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1, and add your key (API Key) and cx (Search Engine ID) to the URL parameters alongside the q query parameter. Example:

{
  "key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
  "cx": "YOUR_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID",
  "q": "[Event.udm.principal.hostname]",
  "num": "10"
}

The Custom Search API will return a JSON object that will be easier to work with vs response_data in subsequent steps as well.
