The robots.txt file for Google manifests a variety of restrictions aimed at regulating non-authorized access by automated crawlers. The file includes directives such as Disallow: /search, Disallow: /url, and Disallow: /imgres, which together limit access to key resources from being scraped. These rules seemingly apply to all bots, with notable exceptions for popular web crawlers like Googlebot and AdsBot.

The file also includes a few Allow: directives, granting selective access under certain conditions. For example, Allow: /search/about and Allow: /search/static permit access to less sensitive areas. However, given the extent of 'Disallow' rules, the privileges offered to generic crawlers are heavily limited. Therefore, from a web scraping perspective, the Google's robots.txt file suggests that unrestricted scraping is disallowed, although limited access is permitted under specific conditions.

The terms of service for Google could not be evaluated from the provided URL because the page returns an error instead of the operative terms. The page offers no language about automated access, crawling, bots, or data extraction; it states:

"404. That’s an error. The requested URL /terms?gl=US&hl=en&uule=w+CAIQICIDVVNB was not found on this server. That’s all we know."

Without the actual terms, we cannot determine whether any restrictions would cover both public and logged-in areas. Enforceability also depends on whether a user has assented to the operative terms, even when a site frames its rules as broadly applicable.

This error page does not mention an official API, rate limits, login barriers, or CAPTCHAs, nor does it outline consequences such as IP blocking, account suspension, or legal action. Because the operative terms are unavailable here, scraping cannot be deemed permitted; at most, it would be possible under specific conditions defined in the actual Google Terms or product-specific terms, and only after reviewing those documents or obtaining written permission.
