Hey,

Thanks for reporting this issue. Unfortunately, I have not been able to reproduce the issue when stress testing the Actor, so the next steps will be based on my expertise, rather than observation. Fortunately, the solution for this issue should be quite simple.

The problem most probably stems from requesting a certain webpage (e.g. https://www.autoscout24.at/haendler/autopark-gmbh-innsbruck/bewertungen) for additional seller/company data that are included in each output entry. This webpage is most probably the main culprit - it has some level of rate limiting.

Immediate possible solution:

You can try to set the field lightningMode to true in the input. Doing this will make the actor stop scraping additional details that are not directly relevant to the ads/listings. This will result in these fields getting removed from the dealerDetails field in every output entry:

• rating (only averageScore and count remain available under this object)
• reviews
• locale
• aboutUs
• brands
• openingHours
• heroImageUrl

Example difference between setting lightningMode to true or false (simplified)

Setting lightningMode to false (default behaviour)

What will I do next to resolve this issue:

1. Implement better system to avoid any possible rate-limiting (exponential backoff)
2. Return the right status (i.e. FAILED) when above 50% request failure rate
3. Possibly implement some way of storing failed request info in each run (probably into KVS under a certain key) to better communicate each request's status - just an idea - tell me your thoughts on this please

Your questions

1. Can you implement proper run status that reflects actual success/failure? => Yes (as said earlier, the target will be 50% as per your request - or would you rather see some other behavior?)
2. Can you provide guidance on configuration to avoid rate limiting? => This Actor does not support custom proxy settings. It is due to the fact that RESIDENTIAL proxies are a lot more expensive, therefore the cost would need to accommodate that. I am thinking of changing the price model of this actor into PPE (Pay per event), which should be better for these scenarios (i.e. customers pay only for the features they use, like residential proxies). But otherwise, your configuration is correct - residential proxies are a lot better for scraping when rate limiting is a factor to consider.
3. Is there a way to automatically retry failed requests within the same run? => The Actor automatically does that, but without the exponential backoff, it is not working properly (it fails multiple times in a very short time period). Once that is done, it should be much more resilient.

Firstly I would try to use the lightningMode, it is the fastest way of solving this issue (if you don't need the additional dealer detail fields). Also, it works way faster :).

I will keep you informed of my progress in this issue thread.
