v unreliable
the actor seems unreliable - sometimes it pulls the full data and other times a much smaller data set that truncates; and when truncating, it doesn't include the all-important transcription. {{ $json.captions.captionTracks[0].base_url }}
It's very 'patchy' - sometimes it will deliver the full result, then it will go for maybe an hour truncating, then maybe for 40 minutes delivering the full scrape. Even when only requesting 1 video at a time rather than a large set - it makes no difference. I have to just run the same scrapes over and over and over again in order to get the data I need. 10 days deep into this project now and still bashing away.
I'm not changing any settings in APify or in the scraping node.
Hello,
Can you please send us some run IDs with these issues so we can investigate them?
Cheers

Hello,
Here is one of the errors:
As of tonight, it looks like the output coding has changed?
{{ $json.captions.captionTracks[0].base_url }} is now
{{ $json.captions.captionTracks[0].baseUrl }} And then sometimes it disappears completely from the output Schema, leading to ERR_INVALID_URL in n8n. Like this run:
https://console.apify.com/actors/1p1aa7gcSydPkAE0d/runs/quPK02ZYiVqnaht7q#output
Screenshot from n8n:

You can see that captionTracks / BaseURL is just not there on this run...
Other times, it just truncates about 2/3 way through the data set. When it happens, it does it continually for maybe 40-60 minutes and then runs fine for maybe 40-60 minutes. I will send some info on that when I can. I am scraping one video at a time with randomized pauses of a few seconds in between in order to naturalize things. thanks, Alex.
