Multiple urls as input stopped working
In the previous version 0.0.8 I was able to pass multiple urls at an input, and it would return output for all of them. It broke in the latest version 0.0.9

Example input that causes failure
1{ 2 "Urls": [ 3 "https://www.yelp.com/biz/total-auto-protect-wilmington-8", 4 "https://www.yelp.com/biz/total-auto-protect-wilmington" 5 ] 6}
however if I run the following input, it works just fine
1{ 2 "Urls": [ 3 "https://www.yelp.com/biz/total-auto-protect-wilmington" 4 ] 5}
[update] Seems like it was running for really long time and timedout
The Actor timed out. You can resurrect it with more timeout to continue where you left off.

It would be really great if you retained versions history.
Hi, thank you so much for your feedback. I’ve fixed and optimized the issue. You can now re-run the Actor to check the results, and feel free to contact me if you encounter any further issues.
Also, regarding your suggestion not to delete historical versions, that’s a great idea. You can first try the current version "0.0.11" to see if it works fine. If there are no issues, I will make sure to keep the historical versions when updating in the future.

I still have an issue with 0.0.11 Not sure if it is the same or something else.
When I run a single url: https://www.yelp.com/biz/harrys-tobacco-shop-burbank-2
I get
2025-03-01T13:26:28.988Z ACTOR: The Actor run has reached the timeout of 60 seconds, aborting it. You can increase the timeout in Input > Run options.
or sometimes I get
2025-03-01T13:45:28.395Z [apify] ERROR Error occurred while requesting parameters: https://www.yelp.com/biz/harrys-tobacco-shop-burbank-2, skipping. Error: RetryError[<Future at 0x74a6ebcc74d0 state=finished raised Exception>]
Note that I still get the output, so it's both the output and timeout received. See screenshot attached.
Hi,
Regarding the first timeout issue: It might occasionally be affected by server network conditions (which doesn't happen often). If the Actor fails to load the webpage within a short time, this issue may occur. You can increase the timeout in Input > Run options, for example, changing it from 60 seconds to 3600 seconds.
Regarding the second issue: This happens because a CAPTCHA appears when requesting the Yelp website. In this case, the Actor will attempt to retry the request. If a CAPTCHA is encountered five times in a row, the Actor will skip that parameter. As a solution, I have increased the number of retry attempts from 5 to 10. If the error still occurs, you will need to rerun the Actor with that parameter.
You can try the latest version "0.0.12".

Thank you for this. I also see that you released new version and retained the old one which is great. I will keep testing and let you know how it goes.
