Crawling returns non-relevant results
Closed
I'm using the API to crawl https://chromewebstore.google.com/category/extensions/lifestyle/well_being and seeing results that are irrelevant and not the ones I see when I browse the chrome extension store website manually. I understand this Actor is under maintenance - is that why? When will this be fixed?
Hello Rob, thank you for the report. Working on other issues now but checked the input you mention and did not find anything wrong. Items were collected from the correct category, matching on all random checks. Maybe you can share your specific run?
Example: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/JQVKsSpYjsfadcPDi

The RunID is:wb4eFS7DRPkTx7X0a
Looking at the results it fetched, you can see they clearly not well_being extensions and if you manually browse the Chrome Extension Store for the Lifestyle>Well Being category you'll see the extensions that show there are definitely well being-type extensions, completely different from what the scraper found.
Please share the run link - can't see it based on ID

actually, I'm looking at the run input and it shows it was scraping the productivity category, which is not what it was supposed to do, so let me go back and re-try this making sure it's using the correct URL - you're right, it prob. works fine.
OK great!

OK, it definitely is now scraping the correct subcategory URL, but it is finding 0 results when there are clearly results it should find. Do you know why?

Oh my, this is endless. Thanks for the follow-up. Currently working around another bug in Apify charging along with max request limit and this looked like a good work-around but probably not. Need to come up with something else. Will look into it and update.
I am working on restoring the original super-fast version in the meantime by the way. Looking good. You'll be the first to know if/when it ships. Hope this week...
OK just checked again the same version locally, everything works perfectly. Not here on Apify. Not sure what's going on again. Maybe some other bug. Have to investigate the discrepancy.
Yeah definitely another bug / inconsistency, here on the platform. Reverted last changes temporarily, so you can use the actor. Provided you don't mind it might overshoot the input limit by 1-2 pages of items/batches in the deployed version. Not great but a quick fix before the original version gets an updated release...
Hi Rob, might want to check out the new version.
PS: Hold on to your hat! ;-)
