[CRITICAL] Not working for some business pages

Closed

digitalcortex opened this issue
6 months ago

Some pages return "not_available" error while they are actually available.

For example: https://www.facebook.com/kondecpa https://facebook.com/harneysglobal https://www.facebook.com/labsconsult

Error "no_items": https://facebook.com/companysetupuae https://www.facebook.com/hkwjgroup

All these pages open just fine using my Facebook account.

I'm suspecting the problem may be related to where the scraping FB account is based. Some pages may be restricting access from certain countries. Is there a solution for this?

Hello, thank you for your feedback. All of the URLs that you have listed above as "not_available" are not available without login in all the cases that I tried (VPN or without VPN), so those seem blocked overall from the public. We cannot scrape pages that are not available without having an account, because of legal reasons.

But the "no_items" URLs are publicly available, so those should be able to be scraped without login. We'll investigate it futher and get back to you with any updates :)

I guess I would have to go for another data provider.

Data quality and availability is too low, even page names sometimes get joined together with the country of location.

Follow-up:

Limited access to pages (saved as "not_available" error) confirmed by running https://console.apify.com/view/runs/HHrE7L770aYeJNKs7 - when a page is opened in the incognito browser it scraped fine (https://www.facebook.com/HarneysGlobal/) and if a page in limited by audience it is not displayed without Facebook login, so no public data available (see screen attached).

Hot-fixed bug with parsing WhatsApp details which caused a false positive "no_items" error in the old version, see sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/X1fue3jb5TuGckx7j

Please note that for pages like https://www.facebook.com/CompanySetupUAE or https://www.facebook.com/hkwjgroup now WhatsApp URL and number are scraped as wa_link and wa_number respectively.

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