Summary

  • Added a note to the "Using a Proxy" section clarifying that SerpApi handles proxies server-side
  • Users don't need to supply their own proxy to avoid blocks or CAPTCHAs
  • This config is only for routing outbound requests through a corporate or network proxy

Addresses the user confusion reported in #32, a user thought they needed to provide their own proxies to use SerpApi.

Changes

Docs-only change to README.md. No code changes.

Add a note explaining that SerpApi handles proxies server-side and
this config is only for routing through a corporate or network proxy.

Fixes serpapi#32
