It's getting rejected with:
{'error': {'type': 'invalid-input', 'message': 'Input is not valid: Items in input.startUrls at positions [0] do not contain valid URLs'}}
Even though: "https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g297550-d302126-Reviews-Jaz_Makadi_Oasis_Resort-Makadi_Bay_Hurghada_Red_Sea_and_Sinai.html"
is indeed a valid URL
Hi, thanks for opening this issue!
I think you are mistaking the input for this Actor. The input that you've provided is in a completely different format than this scraper takes.
The error you are seeing, is as expected, the provided start URL was not in a valid format.
This is the default input for the scraper:
1{ 2 "currency": "USD", 3 "includeAiReviewsSummary": false, 4 "includeAttractions": true, 5 "includeHotels": true, 6 "includePriceOffers": false, 7 "includeRestaurants": true, 8 "includeTags": true, 9 "includeVacationRentals": false, 10 "language": "en", 11 "locationFullName": "Chicago", 12 "maxItemsPerQuery": 10 13}
I hope this helps, thanks and happy scraping!
Can you give me an example of a start url in valid format? Your documentation says you can put startUrls as an input attribute
The JSON example you provide as the “default input” doesn’t include startUrls, but you say in the documentation that this is a valid input.
Is the documentation wrong?
Sorry for the inconvenience, the automatic displayed documentation has a little flawed UI there. The input for start URLs is an array of sources.
So in your case, your case you can simply use:
1"startUrls": [ 2 { 3 "url": "https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g297550-d302126-Reviews-Jaz_Makadi_Oasis_Resort-Makadi_Bay_Hurghada_Red_Sea_and_Sinai.html", 4 } 5]
Also, you can try out the UI input schema, which nicely formats it for you and makes it easier to edit.
Thanks!
Thank you that worked!
Awesome, I'm glad it helped.
