How to Bypass Google Recaptcha while scraping with Requests

Using Google Cache along with a referer (in the header) will help you bypass the captcha.
Things to note:

Don't send more than 2 requests/sec. You may get blocked.
The result you receive is a cache. This will not be effective if you are trying to scrape a real-time data.
Example:

header = {
    "user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.169 Safari/537.36" ,
    'referer':'https://www.google.com/'
}

r = requests.get("http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:www.naukri.com/jobs-in-andhra-pradesh",headers=header)

This gives:

>>> r.content
[Squeezed 2554 lines]

Python code to request the URL:

agent = {"User-Agent":'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36'} #using agent to solve the blocking issue
response = requests.get('https://www.naukri.com/jobs-in-andhra-pradesh', headers=agent)
#making the request to the link

Output when printing the html :

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Naukri reCAPTCHA</title> #the title in the actual title of the URL that I am requested for
    <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://static.naukimg.com/s/4/101/c/common_v62.min.css" />      
        <script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script>   
    </head>
</html>

passing this captcha will it cause any trouble moving ahead?

@kmonish not unless you avoid the referer and cache while requesting. do requests with a time interval

@JoshuaVarghese When I try to navigate to next page it is getting back to older link for the next page. Does this not allow us to navigate and scrape?

@kmonish did you add the webcache.google.... prefix to the url,for navigating?

@JoshuaVarghese it shows on the search engine that the URL is not found in the server

@kmonish it fails because the site wasnt cached

@JoshuaVarghese I just realized that some links are not getting cached like how others get. Is there any other way where we can resolve this issue

I have added all these headers, but it still shows recaptcha sometimes.
