Dramatic slowdown

Closed

Holden Bruce (SellWithOtto) opened this issue
2 months ago

Recently, my searches have been taking significantly longer (~15 minutes to return 100 results) whereas when I was building this actor integration last week, 100 results would be returned in 1-3 minutes and 1000 results would take as long as it's taking 100 right now...not only is it taking forever, it's also (obviously) charging me so much more than I expected. What is going on? Is it something on my side? I'm new to using Apify so it may be my fault, in which case please let me know what I can do to make this operate more efficiently.

Truly what is happening here? Why are there so many retries requested against bizbuysell? Is something wrong?

Hello,

It's not your fault, actually. We identified what was causing this issue and updated the scraper with some adjustments. Thanks for opening this issue. Let us know if this problem persists.

I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly! Whatever you did to patch this problem seemed to work well for this morning when I ran several scrapes but I think the problem has persisted, as it is now back to taking 10, 15, 20 minutes to complete 100 returned items. Thank you in advance for your help!

Just attaching a screenshot of my recent runs (you probably have visibility into this yourself but in case you don't, I wanted to make it visible to you) so you can see just how dramatic the slowdown (and the cost to me) is becoming for these agent runs. If there is anything you would recommend I do on my side to optimize this search, please let me know. I'm flexible and happy to do whatever you recommend!

Thank you again for your feedback. We just updated the actor with some fixes and this issue appears to be resolved, at least in our tests. However, we're not 100% sure that it's fixed, so your feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.

Nice! I just ripped through all 50 states real quick. Thanks for patching that up and pushing those fixes! I'll keep on monitoring performance and let you know if it degrades
