Problem with Scrapebox and Google

Yeah, here is a copy and paste of the mail from support.

"
Google has made some changes to their code, and in order to compenste you will need a new version of scrapebox as well as the new engine files we released.



First please update to at least Version 2.1.0.38 beta 6 of Scrapebox.



Depending on what version of Scrapebox you are currently using, you may need to go thru the update process multiple times to get the choice of beta 6.



Here is a video explaining the new update process:








Second please go to settings >> harvester engine configuration >> import >> download default engines



Then it should work.







We are also currently in the process of rebuilding addons and plugins that use google, so if there is any addon or plugin using google that does not work, please update that. If there is no update out just yet, check back and update when there is."

You said you have V 2.1.0.19.

However the latest version is

V 2.1.0.38 beta 7

You need at least

V 2.1.0.28 beta 6 for google to work.

  1. I uploaded a list of 25k contact forms into GSA Website Contact I stopped it at 5k because all of them went to filtered nothing was sent out and nothing failed any ideas why with would happen?


  2. When i went to the results of all the filtered contact forms if I doubled clicked on it it would let me send the message why is this not happening automatically?
 
429 is a ban error. Means google has temp banned your ip, wait 12 hours and try again, it can take up to 48 hours to have an ip unbanned
@loopline, what would you say is a safe scrapping frequency to avoid bans with Google and ScrapeBox. I am hesitating between Scrapebox and going with a SERP API to avoid dealing with all these bans.

My guess would be that you have added something in filters. So if you said, on purpose or accident, only post to sites in French and these are sites not in French they will be filtered. Or you may have filtered sites that are only from USA and these sites happen to be not from USA. Or it could be a word filter, you may have filtered all sites with the letter A or the word The or filtered all sites not containing some random word.

Well don't stress, the worst case is if you get an ip banned they unban it usually in 48 hours or less.

That said, if you use proxies its no big deal, because they are going to ban the proxy ip, not you or your site or anything else.

Also that said, its all about speed. So you can google my loopline scrapebox youtube channel, BHW does not allow directly posting youtube links.

But you can toy with the speed. So if you have 10 proxies, maybe use a delay of 60 and then if all is well go to 30. Keep pushing that limit till you get your ips banned, then wait till they are unbanned in a day or two and dial back the limit and you know where your sweet spot is.

Thanks for the help! My harvester is working with the normal google search again. Any idea why when I create a custom search engine and add the date to the Google search URL i get no url's found? I'm adding &tbs=cdr:1,cd_min:2002,cd_max:2008 to the end of the URL. If i try this in a normal browser it works fine. Assuming Google has upped their security for these kinds of searches?

Teh key would be to use the test engine button at the bottom of where your modifing teh engine.

Then when it says no links found, next window will give you the option to save raw html.

thats the exact html that scrapebox sees. So you can exmaine it. Its possible google is giving an error or its possible teh urls are there, but you need to change the before an after markers.

Its also possible I misspelled a lot of words in this post, lol.

Yeah that's what I did but the raw html was extremely complicated, but i'll take a closer look. Appreciate the response and no worries about the misspellings lol
