custom harvester scrapebox slow

Hello everyone, I have a little problem with this tool when I simply want to extract the data on google with a single footprint it loads without giving me a duration, I have to wait 10 min for it to return me 100 results with a duration 3 seconds. I do not understand it charges 10 min then returns my results to me. Do you know where this problem could come from?

Note that I have already reset everything to default as recommended in this forum => settings >> harvester engine configuration >> import >> download default engines -your engine

thanks in advance



my config

I have no idea what your talking about "duration" scrapebox has no setting to set how long its going to take to scrape, except for timeouts and thats just how long to wait with no response before skipping a query.

Its most likely that your proxies are mostly blocked and scrapebox is spending all its time cycling thru proxies trying to find one that works so it can give you the results.

If you go to help >> show error log >> harvester

what are the errors?

503, 429 and 403 are all ip bans with google.

thank you for your reply. when i click start proxy column and harvested blacklisted and error, status doesn't load for at least 10. you say proxies can be the cause except i have tested with my vpn by changing countries but i still have the same problem. after the 10 minutes I retrieve the data I wanted, but you can imagine that it is too long just to retrieve 10 links in the serp. I don't have the logs because I'm on Mac os

Try to uninstall and reinstall scrapebox, you might just have bad files, or it could be security software so you can add an exception for all of scrapebox in your security software

You are right, this morning I deleted all files and uninstalled everything and it is working fine now. I saw in another forum that you recommend windows for a lot of things and the scrapebox support has just told me the same thing as you and that they can change my license to me for windows so I could install scrapebox on a windows virtual machine

Same problem.. Please help.

I don't work for scrapebox and can not help you. If support can change your license to windows then great, if thats what you want to do.

The thing is, mac is built 1 way on the "backend" and windows is built a different way. Ive heard it said that mac almost goes out of their way to do things totally opposite on the backend as the way windows does it. Perhaps from copyright standpoint or whatever.

The thing is, neither OS was really designed with tools like scrapebox in mind, but windows just works better with software like scrapebox and has less issues.

Plus you can put software like scrapebox on 1000 windows machines and it works the same way every time.

You put software like scrapebox on 1000 macs and some work one way while others do something else and others still perform in a 3rd different way etc.. So it makes it challenging because macs sometimes don't behave as expected or as other macs do, because of the way apple does stuff on the backend.

Anyway the short answer is, all things being equal, people have less challenges using scrapebox on windows. Its more stable and there is better error reporting on windows. So if there is an issue, its easier to resolve and there is less general issues, plus more features available as some features are not capable to work on mac.

Its not an attack on mac, Im just stating the facts. All OS out there were built by humans so none off them are perfect, windows and mac included.

Worked for the person above, did you try it?

Try to uninstall and reinstall scrapebox, you might just have bad files, or it could be security software so you can add an exception for all of scrapebox in your security software
