Robots.txt Compliance

• /getValidateimage
• /validateimage/
• /human_verify.action
• /ref/*
• /print/
• And other restricted paths

Best Practices

• Use proxy rotation (Apify proxy recommended) to avoid IP blocks
• Keep maxConcurrency at 5 or lower to respect rate limits
• Enable respectRobotsTxt for ethical scraping
• Monitor your runs and adjust retry settings if needed

Troubleshooting

Issue: Getting blocked or rate limited

• Solution: Enable proxy configuration and reduce concurrency

Issue: Missing data fields

• Solution: Website structure may have changed - check selector updates needed

Issue: Timeout errors

• Solution: Increase maxRetries or reduce maxConcurrency
