Avoid scraping pages when redirected

Closed

AnyTeam opened this issue

Currently, if the crawler attempts to scrape a page that ultimately redirects the user, the redirected page is scraped. Is it possible to opt-out of this behavior and avoid scraping pages that redirect the user, or any other non-200 status codes?

Hello,

Thank you for trying the Website Content Crawler! Yes, you can control which URLs are included in the crawl using the ‘includeUrlGlob’ input variable. For more details, please refer to our input definitions page: https://apify.com/apify/website-content-crawler/input-schema

Let me know if you need any further adjustments!

Hi Oscar-- sorry, what we're looking to do is avoid scraping URLs with specific response codes. Currently, if a page 404s, 500s, etc, the content is still scraped and returned by the crawler. Can those situations be avoided without knowing ahead of time which URLs to exclude from the run?

Oscar Rodriguez (Oscardz)

Hello, unfortunately, that's not possible. As a workaround, after the run is finished, you can filter the content of the pages and remove all the pages that have error codes in the 'httpStatusCode' attribute.

I’ll go ahead and close this issue now, but please feel free to ask additional questions or raise a new issue.
