OrderBy links missing

I was evaluating this scraper and was very impressed, however I noticed that the orderBy links were missing some.

For example, in the below place, there is an UberEats order link that your scraper missed. Also, it would be great to differentiate the online order links vs the reservation links as they are on web page vs grouping them together. They're different types of actions.

Hi, thank you for the report. I checked the place and sometimes Google doesn't provide the orderBy link (see attachments). This might be related to proxies that we use - we'll look into this more.

When the orderBy link is missing, the actor stores reservation links instead - this is clearly a bug and we'll fix that.

Thanks for your response! I've seen that as well that Google doesn't show the orderBy link for IPs that are not local to the POI being displayed. If you do fix that bug, please let me know!

Hey,

sorry for late response. So the solution for to this is to use residential proxy with specified country code. For example, you can add the following to your input if you want to scrape from US:

1"proxyConfig": {
2    "groups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
3    "countryCode": "US"
4 }

Just note that usage will be a bit higher with residential proxy.

I'm gonna close the issue now but feel free to reopen if you have any questions.
