Actor sometimes grabs only one screenshot or repeated 'mismatched' screenshots in output
Closed
The last couple days I noticed I don't seem to be getting as many screenshotUrls or accurately matched screenshotUrls in the dataset.
This run only grabbed one - https://console.apify.com/view/runs/Iyav2BXfpIAakad69.
This run has the SAME screenshot posted in the payload for multiple distinct websites.
screenshotUrl https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/OkUy6AhFjH7Qlt0VO/records/SCREENSHOT--.jpg over 70 times in the results for multiple different businesses. That can't be right?

My goal is to grab a screenshot of each businesses home page I'm passing through the crawler. Should depth 0 be sufficient? Should sitemap option be off or on?
Thanks for looking!
Hello again!
This is indeed an issue with Website Content Crawler - in certain cases, it stored the same screenshot for multiple crawled webpages. This is fixed in the latest version of this Actor (0.3.38
).
Also make sure you're using the playwright:firefox
crawler type - the Adaptive crawler cannot take the website screenshots properly (since it switches between actual browsers and raw HTTP clients). This behavior is now enforced in 0.3.38
- the Actor will print a warning message and will turn the saveScreenshots
option off if you try to use it with an unsupported crawler type.
Regarding your other questions - if you're trying to only scrape the URLs from the Start URLs
input, then yes - Maximum crawl depth
set to 0
should be enough. In this case, you can also keep the Use Sitemaps
option set to false
.
I'll close this issue now, but feel free to ask additional questions, if you have any. Cheers!
