Error: "Empty or private data for provided input" for unavailable pages
Closed
We have noticed that Apify sometimes returns empty results with the error message: "Empty or private data for provided input" for unavailable profiles/sites. This does not seem to be the correct behaviour, as Apify can also return an error: "Page not found". Additional question: Can this error ("Empty or private data for provided input" ) also occur for restricted pages? We have notice that apify also return more specific error "Restricted profile"
Hello. The error message: "Empty or private data for provided input" occurs when our Actor has finished with no results scraped, which means that there was either nothing to scrape, or the resources were somehow restricted / blocked.
Error: "Page not found" is thrown where the page from which we get the resource cannot be found at all, instead of being empty or restricted, like with the previous error.
The "Empty or private data for provided input" can happen for any input that returns 0 results, so even possible for restricted profiles.
I will close this issue now, if you have any further questions, let us know.
