I went back in my run history, on 2023-03-01 22:47 run number "6llGGtPE3UEcKA9Fi" was the last successful run I had. This was using version 1.0.162. I tried using this older version again (new run ID: "hPoCgXzXU7ssYCgqQ"), but this also failed.
On top of these requests failing, they are all fasely reporting as successful with the exit codes you are using

Hey Matt Payne!
Thank you very much for using this public actor. If possible, can you please add https:// at the beginning of the startUrls and try it again?
Awaiting your response. Best

yep that works, why is there no error handling / better error messages or documentation on this? feel like that is an easy one to catch
impressive_rainforest
I am still getting intermittent issues after adding the https:// at the beginning of the startUrls. Here are two run numbers Wdmk6seNwWlHxIGj5. XAHVWIyZdUi3DykS4. This error is causing great delay in the time it takes to scrape these pages

Hey Matt Payne,
The error handling is completely our fault. I'll pass this problem as a ticket to the team. About the intermittent issues, that is expected. All the public actors have the potential to get blocked. That's why it contains the retry mechanisms and proxies in place. About the delay on the scrape, I checked the logs of the run and it seems like; scraping takes 40 seconds but the build time of the actor takes 2 minutes. Unfortunately, this is completely up to the Apify platform and there is not much to do on our side.

Is there a private option?

Do you mean getting the same service from somewhere else? If so, unfortunately not.
