Error Handling

The Actor handles common errors like invalid URLs or blocked requests by retrying with different proxies. Check the run log for details on failures. If an ad is unavailable, it will be skipped with a warning. For persistent issues, ensure proxy settings are correct and URLs are accessible.

Rate Limiting and Best Practices

Kleinanzeigen may impose rate limits; use residential proxies to reduce blocks. Best practices include:

• Limit to 10-20 URLs per run to avoid overload.
• Use varied proxy countries for international access.
• Run during off-peak hours for better success rates.
• Monitor Apify credits to manage costs.

Limitations

• Only scrapes public ad details; private or deleted ads are not accessible.
• Output depends on ad structure, which may vary.
• Requires valid URLs; malformed links will be skipped.
• Proxy usage may incur additional Apify costs.
