When I put in url for a specific state/industry the scraper takes hours, doesn't return every business profile from DnB, and even returns different industries. I have attached an example of Georgia Bakeries and Tortilla manufacturers

The data returned is very messy and once again took hours to scrape as opposed to previous scrapes I conducted in February that were clean and only took about 30 minutes for 1,000 results.

Hey there,

Is it possible for you to share the run link with me? You can find it on the right hand side via a small blue button.

Best.

Hey Collin,

Thank you very much for providing the url. It seems like the actor was also dispatching an unnecessary search at the same time once you only provide mode. That's why you were getting the irrelevant results. I added an extra check and all should be working pretty well now.

About the slowness, unfortunately DnB blocks the bots a lot. That's why we have to create different solutions and workarounds for breaching that protection which slows the actor in general. However I'll try to optimize it as much as possible.

Also what I saw that is it wasn't calculated the pagination properly which causes an infinite-alike run. I've fixed that as well.

Actor is updated and ready for your consumption.

Best
