Link to list of URL's issue

Closed

I am using the Link to List of URL's feature to access a google drive file that contains a list of only Facebook pages, and, although the scraper does scrape them, it is also using thousands of residential proxy connections to connect to other things.

You can see this in my screen shot attached. Why is this occurring? You can see that the vast majority of my usage is coming from non-facebook items.

Hi!

External file with URLs is platform feature, actor can not change the way how it works.

In your run https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qKt4yGCoMpCMpTswAyLjxRvIe96oKTTHkeMMHNYOLtw/edit?tab=t.0 is web app, not plain text file. Actual content resolved as view-source:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qKt4yGCoMpCMpTswAyLjxRvIe96oKTTHkeMMHNYOLtw/edit?tab=t.0 - you can check in incognito browser how it looks when downloaded by platform. That's why so many URLs from google domain parsed.

Please ensure to provide plain text file in order to download and process only facebook URLs from your content.

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