Hi,
It's me again with a couple of questions :)
-
Is it possible to stop scrapper to crawl after the required number of pages was reached? On the attached screenshot you can see that despite I need only 15 results per run, it crawled 168 pages and was keep going. This makes the whole process quite slow
-
Not sure if anything else is possible to do about this, but I noticed that there are usually several product that are sold from USA are included. You can theoretically buy them from ebay.co.uk, but they have huge shipping fees and they usually don't appear in the results if you search manually.

Hey,
I am ready to respond to all your questions :).
- The actor is programmed in a way that it should automatically shutdown upon reaching the desired result count, or upon reaching the end of the list. Could you please provide me with a link to the run you speak of? I would love to analyze what has happened (and if it works as desired, or not). The page count that it displays is worrying - if it went through so many pages, it either should have ended or gave you the required amount of results.
- There is a possible solution - using residential proxies - to solve this issue. But that is more costly, and I do not wish to make this actor more expensive for everyone because of it. BUT! After this actor changes pricing model to PPE (Pay per event), this will be very much a possible solution, and I will probably introduce this feature with the pricing model change.
I will leave this issue open until the release of PPE, and will inform you via this channel.
Have a great day, 3x1t

Hi,
Please see the link to the run below. It actually went through almost 1000 pages and I had to abort it in the end. https://console.apify.com/view/runs/kU70XaAHuGV2S1dt8 When are you planning to release PPE and how much would it cost comparing to the current price?
Mikhail
Hey again,
I analyzed the run and found out the reason behind this bug - actor failed to realize it should have ended the run. It is a rather rare occurrence that I haven't come across until now. Just released a fix, so that should not occur anymore.
Regarding the PPE
If everything goes according to plan, it should take up to a week to finish the development. However, I’m not sure exactly when this Actor will switch to PPE, due to Apify’s policy regarding Actor billing and pricing (there are time limitations in place). With that in mind, I’ll contact them and try to get it released as quickly as possible. All in all, it should be a matter of weeks — I expect two weeks tops.
PPE pricing
With the release of PPE, the base cost will be around $1 per 1000 results (not including extra costs).
Some features will incur extra costs:
- Usage of custom residential Proxy - current estimate is somewhere around $2 per 1000 results extra
So if you start using the proxy option, the cost should not differ a lot from the current price (i.e. $2.99 per 1000 results).
Hope that helps.
Best regards, 3x1t
