Hi - I am again running into a lot of 403s. These were 403s from my last run that I decided to retry and I got them again so perhaps it's something about these product IDs specifically? Please look into this. I have already paid a lot of money for usage due to these errors, I would appreciate a refund of my subscription for the month since the crawler is not working as expected.

Also I'm not understanding the settings, I think. I have the Actor set to fetch only reviews. There is a setting for "Maximum number of listing items" and "reviews end page". I set the max number of listing items to 50, expecting to get 50 reviews per company/URL. But I have some where I am getting some with as many as 500 reviews. I set reviews end page to 10. On the website I see 25 reviews per page so I'd expect to get no more than 250. Can you tell me which setting I should be using to get 50 reviews per URL? What if I want 100?

About the refund, unfortunately, this is out of our hands.

About the 403s, unfortunately, Capterra has extremely high precautions on the software security. They are using a top-notch tool called PerimeterX and this is more or less all the penetration that an actor can do. We put an eye on it already and trying to increase the... [trimmed]
