Website Content Crawler stuck - cost keeps increasing

Open

digtital_moose opened this issue

Hi,

I aborted the crawler because it got stuck at 527 out of 4.3k links. But the usage costs kept increasing!? So what if i dont keep an eye on it? It just keeps trying indefinitely and i end up with a huge bill without it actually finishing? That would be crazy..

Hello, and thank you for your interest in the Website Content Crawler! It seems like the website that you're scraping actually stopped responding to requests after a period of time (~10 minutes). Judging by the logs, this might actually be caused by a server error on their side. The crawler itself, however, has no way of knowing that, and so it kept retrying the failed requests. In cases like this, it might be warranted to decrease the maxRequestRetries parameter. Also, limiting the maxCrawlPages or setting a timeout on the whole run are good ways to keep the costs in check.
