Having an issue where I'm not getting any results today. I haven't changed anything with my input json since I last ran this actor and had success on 2024/08/25 with Apify's Residential - USA proxy (https://console.apify.com/actors/IPYzJr9bFeFUufskW/runs/hrDH8rW777CcyR2zr#log)

This is the most recent run I'm trying to debug that has lots of start_urls - https://console.apify.com/actors/IPYzJr9bFeFUufskW/runs/WX1bSwYuLFhRYUeTY#log

I tried changing the proxy and that did not help.

I then tried an older build and only 2 start_urls and was able to get 1 result out of 2. Build 0.0.122. https://console.apify.com/actors/IPYzJr9bFeFUufskW/runs/t2K3sHX5us6Y1q0VB#output

I'm not sure why this older build is working, since it appeared to run and work perfectly on 0.0.124 as I mentioned first above (2024/08/25 with Apify's Residential - USA proxy (https://console.apify.com/actors/IPYzJr9bFeFUufskW/runs/hrDH8rW777CcyR2zr#log)

Hi again,

We're sorry to hear that it did not work for you. We have just tried a few samples, and they were working fine for us. Most of the issues are related to proxies. Try changing the proxy country to anywhere and see if it works. Also, if you do not need the exact number of followers, you can turn that feature off because it is set to 'true' by default, which might increase your success rate as well.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other issues. We can also chat through Discord if it's easier for you to communicate with us. Thank you!

No luck trying different proxies provided by Apify. I already set Followers and page transparency to false. I honestly just want emails.

0.0.122 seems to be working for me so I'll just stick with that build for now ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Would you mind sharing your latest run output?

Please update the proxy country to Anywhere and see if it works

Confirmed new release .125 works when Residential proxy set to Anywhere -> https://console.apify.com/actors/IPYzJr9bFeFUufskW/runs/3hIbk9KoCNkZGUNAO#output

Also tested .125 with the same input but with a Resedential proxy = US and it also worked -> https://console.apify.com/actors/IPYzJr9bFeFUufskW/runs/THarSD0NgxlgdSHgg#output

Whatever you did appears to have fixed it. Thank you so much!!

quick question - do you think selecting a USA location for my residential proxy matters? Or should the Anywhere location be fine? I'm only scraping USA FB pages.

You’re welcome. The main issue was trying to get the exact follower count alongside the used proxies. The Anywhere location should be fine no needs to use US proxies
