Are you using the package standalone? It's not recommended as stated here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/apify-shared

Nevertheless, your issue seems to be that you are not passing required arguments to the library, based on the code in this case you should be calling the logger utility with one of log level strings supported by it: if (!LEVEL_TO_STRING[options.level]) throw new Error('Options "level" must be one of log.LEVELS enum!');

Hard to say what you should be doing based on the information shared but maybe you recognize you can pass in there one of the logger's levels this way: log.LEVELS.

What are you trying to achieve?

Apify - How to Enqueue URL Variations Efficiently

Asked 2021-May-10 at 14:40

I am creating a new actor in Apify with Cheerio to read an input file of URLs and return primarily two items: (1) the HTTP status code and (2) the HTML title. As part of our process, I would like to be able to try up to 4 variations of each input URL, such as:

HTTP://WWW.SOMEURL.COM
HTTPS://WWW.SOMEURL.COM
HTTP://SOMEURL.COM
HTTPS://SOMEURL.COM

If one of the 4 variations is successful, then the process should ignore the other variations and move to the next input URL.

I read the original input list into a RequestList, and then would like to create the variations in a RequestQueue. Is this the most efficient way to do it? Please see code below, and thank you!

you should create your URL list beforehand. the handlePageFunction is only used for the actual scraping part, and you should only have the Apify.pushData there:

Apify - How to Include Failed Results in Dataset

Asked 2021-May-05 at 15:30

We are using the Apify Web Scraper actor to create a URL validation task that returns the input URL, the page's title, and the HTTP response status code. We have a set of 5 test URLs we are using: 4 valid, and 1 non-existent. The successful results are always included in the dataset, but never the failed URL.

Logging indicates that the pageFunction is not even reached for the failed URL:

QUESTION

Apify cheerio scraper stops even with urls in the queue

Asked 2021-Mar-02 at 17:11

here is the scenario, I'm using the cheerio scraper to scraper a website containing real estate announces.

Each announce has the link to the next announce so before scrapint the current page I add the next page in the request queue. What it happens always at certain and a random point is that the scraper stops without any reason, even if in the queue there is the next page to scrape (I add the image).

Why does this happens since there is still a pending request in the queue? Many thanks

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Feb-15 at 12:45

You're using run-sync-get-dataset-items endpoint, which returns dataset (and only dataset, i.e. the items array, not the run object). Then you're trying to get the items, assuming you're providing defaultDatasetId, which is undefined in this case. In the end, you get an error. This would also explain why you see the items via the link.

Not sure why it's error 403, not 404, but I don't see the implementation of getItemsFromDataset(). Could you please check the above first?

QUESTION

How to scrape dynamic-loading listing and individual pages using Apify?

Asked 2021-Jan-16 at 07:38

How do I use the features of Apify to generate a full list of URLs for scraping from an index page in which items are added in sequential batches when the user scrolls toward the bottom? In other words, it's dynamic loading/infinite scroll, not operating on a button click.

Specifically, this page - https://www.provokemedia.com/agency-playbook I cannot make it identify any other than the initially-displayed 13 entries.

These elements appear to be at the bottom of each segment, with display: none changing to display: block at every segment addition. No "style" tag here is visible in raw source, only via DevTools Inspector.

@LukášKřivka's answer at How to make the Apify Crawler to scroll full page when web page have infinite scrolling? provides the framework for my answer...

Summary:

Create a function to instigate force scrolling to the bottom of the page
Get all elements

Detail:

In a while loop, scroll to the bottom of the page.
Wait for eg. 5 secs for new content to render.
Keep a running count of the number of target-link selectors, for info.
Until no more items load.

Call this function only when pageFunction is examining an index page (eg. arbitrary page name like START/LISTING in User Data).
