You are building something that will automatically scrape Google by
explicitly circumventing the tools they have provided for you to do so.
Whether the information is for your own internal statistics or not is
irrelevant. The terms of service state:
No Automated Querying
You may not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system
without express permission in advance from Google. Note that "sending automated
queries" includes, among other things:
* using any software which sends queries to Google to determine how
a website or webpage "ranks" on Google for various queries;
* "meta-searching" Google; and
* performing "offline" searches on Google.
