Actor does not scrape content from stories

Closed

Everything ran correctly on 12-01, but today I saw a lot of inconsistencies.

I added a run to this ticket that successfully pulled static images from a social account, but also failed on other accounts that had stories live.

When the actor tried to pull data from this account it said that it could not find and stories. I checked this and it seems that the account had stories live when this was ran.

Thank you for fixing so quickly! I’m now receiving stories for all creators that don’t trigger a timeout.

I’ve noticed a decrease in the scraper’s speed over the past week. Could the timeout value need to be adjusted to accommodate this slowdown?

I am running using 512 MB of memory. Is there a way to increase this when you call the actor to run via API?

Just did a bit of testing on my end and runs that use 1024 memory were way more consistent then 256, and 512, but 1024 still had timeout issues. I noticed the most inconsistency when the account had a video inside of their stories.

Thanks for your feedback.

We’ve released an update to address the timeout issue. It should work with 512 MB. Our previous scraping method was blocked, so we’ve switched to a new one that works better but requires more memory.

To adjust memory, you can update it in the actor’s settings or use the memory parameter in your API call (https://docs.apify.com/api/v2#tag/ActorsRun-collection/operation/act_runs_post)

Let us know if you have more questions!
