A beginner-friendly tutorial on web scraping using the SerpAPI npm package to bypass common obstacles like CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and bot detection. Covers setting up a Node.js project, scraping Google Search results, short videos, and Google Lens image results. Culminates in building a full-stack web app that searches for short videos via SerpAPI and downloads them locally using yt-dlp, with a simple Express backend and vanilla JS/CSS frontend. Also covers securing API keys with dotenv before publishing to GitHub.
