What is the fastest way (fastest in a sense of request that will take the shortest amount of time) to check if the group is private or not? I don't need to scrape any posts in the group provided in a url, only to check if it's private or not. I tried to set the query parameter "limit": 1, but it still takes around 40-50 seconds before I get the response from the public group, even though when I try to fetch the private group it takes no longer then 10 seconds to respond.
Hi!
You doing everything right, just scrape all groups in single run, so even if some requests will be delayed up to 40-50 sec (it happens randomly with slow proxy), overall results will be fast, see sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/RHDfEYkGzzFMKKqAy (20 sec per 2 groups)
As alternative try https://console.apify.com/view/runs/u6gf7IR41PD3ABD5m - should be faster, still if-when proxy slow or fails delay might be up tp minute or so.
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
