Got faulty initial response, retrying...

Hi, I'm testing this actor, and I'm having errors.

I tried to run this actor a few times and always got the same

"error: Got faulty initial response, retrying..." after the initial log: "info: [POST] Starting the comments scrape."

Hello,

It is retrying that request so you should not abort it, it will try again with a different proxy. But the dev will look into how to improve the blocking rate.

Hello, is this issue still active? From the logs output it appears to be going through a rather looong process of trial and error before it starts working, nearly 10 minutes to get first response. Even then further responses are quite slow, especially when compared to Clockworks' other TikTok Crawlers.

Beta build doesn't appear to be any different. If it's really using a different proxy for each request it would be quite reassuring to see that indicated in the output somewhere.

Thank you btw, hopefully people say that. This tool is wonderful, I'd love to continue using it

Increasing the memory helps a lot. 8gb is where I start getting successes

Hi, thanks for your patience, we're still looking into it. Will let you know once there's more to share!

Hi again, I'm happy to announce that both the blocking rate was improved and the waiting time before the response has been fixed. So the Actor is back on track! I'm going to close the issue for now, but if anything else comes up, please, let us know.
