Fails to scrape some fb pages

Closed

First off - thank you for this actor! It's been working great. But I noticed sometimes it fails to scrape some FB pages, and I cannot figure out why.

For example, https://www.facebook.com/Chamei-Matcha-100612569050254/, I'm mostly interested in the email. I've tried to scrape this page in a few runs now, with a batch of start URLs and most recently only this one page, and it fails everytime.

Looking at the logs, it appears it gets redirected to login, but honestly idk, I'm not a dev :)

Let me know if I need to tweak my input settings or proxy or something. Thank you!

Hi,

We are very happy to see that our actor helped you. It might be related to proxies, as it worked for me with residential proxies. You can try using this proxy provider: https://oxylabs.go2cloud.org/SH3d

I was able to get results for the first URL, as shown in the attached images. However, for the second URL, which is private, you will need to enter cookies in order to parse the page. We are working on adding support for cookies as input, and this feature will be available in the near future.

We are also enhancing the flow so that you can specify the types of tabs you want to scrape, such as "about_details" or "about_transparency." This will help you get results faster and optimize our parser in terms of success rate and costs.

Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it as we are always here to deliver the best data to our users at the lowest cost. Also, please make sure to lower your RAM usage to 512 MB when running this actor to avoid excessive costs.

Oh good call. It worked for me when I switched to Apify's Residential-USA proxy. Do you think it would work with other country's residential proxies? (I'm scraping the USA).

Cookies and tabs support would be awesome!!
