crawling timed out?

Hey, if you're referring to the "Timeout awaiting 'request' for 10000ms" warnings in the logs, they're normal and expected as well, because sometimes a request is not responded by the BizBuySell website, the scraper always retry when that happens.

If you're referring to the 4 hour run time, it's reasonable due to the large amount of data. If you want to avoid the scraper running for a lot of time, please set a timeout value on the Run Options before running the scraper.

Thank you.

We do not mind how long the scraper runs, if anything we prefer it to remain running until "all" 50 states worth of data has been scraped. Thank you very much for the extra days to test things out. We did find the section to add urls and we did add all of the other states. We noticed that some of them skipped and never completed. In addition, we are wondering if there is some way to scan the source on a weekly basis looking for changes in the data, so that we are not paying each week to get redundant data also creating a lot more time to carry out each week's scrape. if there is any way to grab changes in the data only this would be huge, but if not no worries.

Thank you!

Hey. Unfortunately it's not possible to give you more trial days because Apify removed this feature.

Yes, you can get only new listings by setting a dataset name in the input. The scraper will ignore listings that were scraped previously. You can get the entire dataset in the Storage tab. We're considering adding a feature to track changes on the listings as well.

Thank you!

No problem on the extra days. I already subscribed. Adding that new feature would be amazing and would really help us out but in the meantime, would you mind briefly describing how we go about using a name to ignore results that had already been scraped previously?

Thanks
