Hi,
I don't know what is causing this issue as I am quite new to scraping.
The result I am getting is this: ERROR Compilation of pageFunction failed.
Appreciate any help
Hello, and thank you for your interest in this Actor!
The logs of your Actor say it all. Under the ERROR Compilation of pageFunction failed. line, the Actor prints the exact error - which is Unexpected identifier: pageHtml in your case. On the Input tab, the pageFunction editor also checks for syntax errors - you can see that you've missed a comma after the second-last line (see the attached screenshot).
I tried adding that one comma and the Actor worked as expected, returning two results.
I'll close this issue now, but feel free to ask additional questions if you have any. Cheers!
