Budget-Conscious Place Scraping Controls

Closed

With the new pricing model, having precise control over what data gets crawled is essential to prevent rapid budget depletion. Without these controls, this actor may become financially impractical. My recommended filtering options:

  1. Category-based filtering - Allow users to exclude specific place categories from crawling results. Example: When searching for "Doctors," users can exclude places with "radiotherapist" in their categories to avoid unnecessary data collection (e.g. reviews).
  2. Name-based filtering - Enable filtering by place name to skip specific businesses. Example: When searching for "Restaurants," users can exclude establishments with "McDonalds" in their name to focus crawling on other businesses.

These filtering capabilities would help users target their data collection more precisely, ensuring budget efficiency while maintaining the actor's utility.

Hi!

Thank you for your suggestion, and I agree with you. We are working on adding multiple filters, but unfortunately, the platform is not as flexible as needed to add more filtering options.

The team is working on it; however, I can't promise you a deadline. We will definitely notify you when it's implemented.

Have a nice day!
