A static list of URLs to check for captchas. To be able to add new URLs on the fly, enable the Use request queue option.

For details, see Start URLs in README.

Link Selector

linkSelectorstringOptional

A CSS selector saying which links on the page (<a> elements with href attribute) shall be followed and added to the request queue. This setting only applies if Use request queue is enabled. To filter the links added to the queue, use the Pseudo-URLs setting.

If Link selector is empty, the page links are ignored.

For details, see Link selector in README.

Pseudo-URLs

pseudoUrlsarrayOptional

Specifies what kind of URLs found by Link selector should be added to the request queue. A pseudo-URL is a URL with regular expressions enclosed in [] brackets, e.g. http://www.example.com/[.*]. This setting only applies if the Use request queue option is enabled.

If Pseudo-URLs are omitted, the actor enqueues all links matched by the Link selector.

For details, see Pseudo-URLs in README.

Default value of this property is []

Repeat checks on provided URLs

repeatChecksOnProvidedUrlsintegerOptional

Will access each URL multiple times. Useful to test the same URL or bypass blocking of the first page.

Max number of pages checked per domain

maxNumberOfPagesCheckedPerDomainintegerOptional

The maximum number of pages that the checker will load. The checker will stop when this limit is reached. It's always a good idea to set this limit in order to prevent excess platform usage for misconfigured scrapers. Note that the actual number of pages loaded might be slightly higher than this value.

If set to 0, there is no limit.

Default value of this property is 100

Maximum concurrent pages checked per domain

maxConcurrentPagesCheckedPerDomainintegerOptional

Specifies the maximum number of pages that can be processed by the checker in parallel for one domain. The checker automatically increases and decreases concurrency based on available system resources. This option enables you to set an upper limit, for example to reduce the load on a target website.

Default value of this property is 50

Maximum number of concurrent domains checked

maxConcurrentDomainsCheckedintegerOptional

Specifies the maximum number of domains that should be checked at a time. This setting is relevant when passing in more than one URL to check.

Default value of this property is 5

retireBrowserInstanceAfterRequestCountintegerOptional

How often will the browser itself rotate. Pick a higher number for smaller consumption, pick a lower number to rotate (test) more proxies.

Default value of this property is 10
