Get a demoI ran the Playwright + Firefox crawler type (after the adaptive crawler type) on a website and it wasn't able to retrieve the social media links at the bottom of the Home page. I've attached an image of the section for your reference. Would love to know if this is possible using a different crawler type? Or if a modification to the actor can be made to retrieve these results.
Thanks for the attention, and looking forward to your input!
Hello and thank you for your interest in this Actor!
This is a common issue - the default Website Content Crawler settings use the Readable Text
HTML extractor, which is sometimes too eager with removing content. Turning the HTML extractor off keeps more content in the page. To do this, go to HTML Processing
and set HTML Transfomer
to None
.
In addition, I found out that our toolkit for removing cookie modals also removes parts of the page footer. To turn this off, go to HTML Processing
again and set Remove cookie warnings
to false
.
So, all in all, two things:
- set the HTML transformer to
None
, and - turn off the
Remove cookie warnings
option.
I'll close this issue now, but feel free to ask additional questions if you have any.
Cheers!
