Proxy configuration problem
Closed
i am having troubles defining the proxy configuration to run in datacenter group, i tried a lot of things but it's still consuming in Residencial group
This is my last attempt in the raw input: run_input = { "channels": [channel_url], "scrapeEmptyChannelInfo": False, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": False, "groups": ["BUYPROXIES63748"] # or "BUYPROXIES63748" etc., if that's your desired group }, "maxResultsShorts": 500, "scrapeLastNDaysShorts": 3 }
But it still happening
Hello, thank you for opening this issue.
While some actors may offer the possibility of changing the proxy group to use (see for example the TikTok Scraper https://console.apify.com/actors/GdWCkxBtKWOsKjdch), other scraper, like the Youtube ones, do not provide this flexibility. This may be due to different reasons, but mostly is because without the RESIDENTIAL groups the scraper would incur in heavy blocking, making the scraper unusable.
In general, if it's something you can control, you would see the option in the input tab. So, if you see the option to change the proxy, feel free to change them to accomodate your needs!
Hope this helped. Feel free to ask more question. Happy scraping!
