What is UULE? And how to generate UULE with Python?

What is UULE?

The UULE region parameter (&uule=) of the Google search engine allows you to see the actual search results by region, which corresponds to geolocation when directly located in an arbitrary region. In other words, it is possible to get search results for your region of interest in your browser without the need for additional plug-ins or directly physical presence in the region. [1]

Generate UULE with Python [2]

import base64

def uule(city: str) -> str:
  encoded_city = city.encode()
    city_length = len(encoded_city)
    hashed = (
        base64.standard_b64encode(
            bytearray([8, 2, 16, 32, 34, city_length]) + encoded_city
        )
        .decode()
        .strip("=")
        .replace("+", "-")
        .replace("/", "_")
    )
    return f"w+{hashed}"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example

uule('Lezigne,Pays de la Loire,France') = w+CAIQICIfTGV6aWduZSxQYXlzIGRlIGxhIExvaXJlLEZyYW5jZQ
