I get this error over and over again until the app fails all the time. ERROR HttpCrawler: Request failed and reached maximum retries. SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', ")

It appears to be working now but I am concerned it stops working again. Please let me know if the issue is sorted for sure?

Hi, thanks for opening this issue!

Zillow has started heavily blocking the API endpoint that we are scraping, so we are receiving some high blocking by them, which is failing the scraper. We will investigate this further, figure out how we can prevent the blocking, and update the scraper accordingly.

I will keep you updated here, thanks!

Hi, we published the update that reduces the number of requests blocked. We also replaced a generic SyntaxError warning described above with our custom error:

WARN  HttpCrawler: Reclaiming failed request back to the list or queue. Request was blocked, no JSON data received. Retrying...

The scraper is currently not able to prevent the blocking completely but the blocking frequency should be much lower now. We also increased the maximum allowed request retries to 15 to make sure that each request gets processed eventually.

I'm closing this issue - feel free to re-open it if the problem occurs again. If you discovered any other issue, please open a new ticket for it. Thank you!
