The script may take a long time to run, as it makes random pauses to avoid being blocked by Google. Also, if it encounters a CAPTCHA, the script will pause for 30 seconds before continuing. During this pause, you are expected to manually solve the CAPTCHA for the script to continue. If you see the script pausing for a long time, check if Google is asking for a CAPTCHA.
To mitigate the risk of your IP being blocked by Google, it is recommended to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
