The Scrapebox website is down.

Not so much.

Pingdom shows 100% uptime in the past 7 days with 1 minute check intervals. You must have DNS/Cache/internet connection issues.

I am in need of some guru assistance if possible!

Currently running scrapes using Ypscraper and the entries begin to flow. However as the search works through keywords/locations, the scraped entries then dissapear? I get to the end of the search and there are no entries to export even though I watched many appear during the search.

Any ideas guys? Thanks.

Say what? lol

Ill be honest, Ive never see the grid populate its self and then wipe its self clean. Do you happen to notice, does it clean its self all at once or at a given point or?

First try a fresh copy of scrapebox and then the ypscraper, taking care to unzip it to a folder on your desktop or in your documents folder.

I don't think it would be a write permissions issue as I think all that data is held in memory, but desktop/docs folder are ideal folders for multiple reasons.

Thanks Loop. I will do as you recommend and report back either way!

It was as one keyword scrape completed and it moved onto the next, the previous results would just vanish! I believe I have a very "special" set of circumstances as I cannot string two successful searches at the moment.

Back soon!

Complete new install and still getting the same results. I am using a handful of locations that I have input myself and then a selection of keywords. YPs works its way through all of the locations for the first keyword successfully. As it finishes all of the locations for that keyword and moves onto the next, the grid resets and the scrapes disappear!

It seems like it's impossible to set a delay in Detailed Harvester when running it through Automator. I tried setting it first in Detailed harvester manually and then starting the automation job, but the delay is being reset to 0 the next time Detailed Harvester starts.

Is there a way to do this?

I don't see a way to do it, but what you can do is go to settings >> harvester engine configuration - and set a delay in the engine(s) you want to use. Then it is going to use that delay when using the details harvester, always.

So lets take it back to basics. You are using a handful of keywords and locations. What if you do like 3 keywords and 2 locations or something. That way we can see it happen really quickly, does it happen even with a couple of locations and keywords like this or does it behave differently?

Does it always do this or only sometimes?

Are you using which engine, yellow pages, yell, yellow pages AU... ?

I have issues scraping proxies, could this be due the software or could it be my vps?

Sometimes im not even able to get 1 good proxy out of 1000...

And the testing proces goes also very slow.

I don't use SB often now, but I started to use for the KW ranker premium plugin. I get the feeling that latest months I can't find working google passing proxies. From about 85k I get about 50 working, and after the second check 1 or 2 work. I know private proxies is the way to go, but I wanted to save a few bux in the next few months ...

 

[dekadent30]

Why when i scrape and check 500 anon proxies for example and click start scraping, scrapebox adds 1000 proxies from nowhere and proxies count is 1500. I don't want these proxies to be added from nowhere, they slow down my scraping. How to disable them?

There is nothing wrong with the scrapebox program, nothing has changed with the proxies part in a while.

Do you get a lot of the same error? I mean proxies are used more now days by more people and so they are harder to find, especially google ones. However it could be your bandwidth, or something on your machine blocking. Try doubling the timeouts for testing and cutting the connections in half. Does that help?

How many connections are you using?

Google proxies are highly sought after and google blocks quicker then ever. Getting even 10 shared proxies for $10 and using a delay will use far less time then messing around with public proxies if thats your success rates. Go mow a neighbors lawn or shovel their driveway of snow and you will have a couple/few months of proxies and you should be able to leverage that to make way more then $10 a month.

Its server proxies. In the screen right before you hit start harvesting, where you choose what engines to use, click the proxies drop down. Uncheck use server proxies.

Yeah I know I got mails from BHW too, I had 5000 messages in my box, I get a lot of messages, lol. Its archived and cleared now so you can send again.

Hi Loop,

I have just run a few tests. I have the same problem when using 2-3 keywords and 2-3 user locations. I have been using Yell however I ran a quick trial using yellow pages and the same problem occurred. This problem has been present since my first installation, I have tried fresh installations and had the same issue.

The settings that I am running are as follows:

Proxies (76) - All private
Select definition - Yell (although the issue happens with yellow pages also)
User locations - Ran tests with varied amounts, all the same result
Keywords - Again, ran tests with varied amounts, all the same result

If I run one location and a selection of keywords, or vice versa, I am able to export the results.

Hopefully this additional info may help! Do you have the same issue your end?

Thanks,

Toby

Thanks this is helpful, Im able to reproduce it. Ill mail support about it.

I do have it set to 60 second delay in the harvester engine configuration, but it doesn't seem like the delay is in effect. When exactly should the delay happen? Isn't it between each keyword/footprint scrape during a scraping session?

I stopped fooling around with public proxies, this helped a lot

Is there currently a way to set the harvester to allow 404 pages? I set up a custom engine to scrape some info on 404 pages

Thanks

It should scrape an entire set of results for a given keyword. So if you have

car
truck
boat

and you set results to 1000 and choose google at 100 results per page

It will scrape thru 10 queries of google (assuming there is 1000 results for the query) and then delay.

Aye, that will about do it.

Your using the custom data grabber or the actual search engine harvester?

So the plugin used to clear after each keyword and save to file to save memory and avoid possible data loss. So it was supposed to be clearing and all that data was saved to disk. But they changed it, if you update it will now save it all in memory and stay in the grid and you can export it when its done.
