Exclude scraping event ids

Closed

I run my scraper every hour to see if there are any new events. How do I exclude ones I already scraped.

Hi!

Actor do not provide such logic, because further data management supposed to be done with different tools or integrations, for example exporting data to Google Sheets and removing duplicates.

You can also ask community in Apify Discord #hire-freelancers to build a simple integration script for this.

I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.

Well the problem is, there may be hundreds of results for a query. I want to run the script every hour to see if there are new results, without having to scrape every single one of the old ones (the vast majority). If I could keep a cache locally of results I scraped already, they wouldn’t have to be crawled unnecessarily.

Follow-up: Now you can scrape https://www.facebook.com/events/explore/today or https://www.facebook.com/events/explore/this_week or https://www.facebook.com/events/explore/next_week - if the day-week range specified events scraped by IP geolocation and most of them will be the same as proxy country specified in the input, see https://console.apify.com/view/runs/jBJYtbDahWIgcCRgD with custom proxy country in JSON input

I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we could help with, please let us know.
