Can anyone help? I am at my wits end here as I had a job to do for someone and though I was in safe hands with the YP scaper to get it done. The job delivery time has already passed and I am up a creek without a paddle.
I have what appears at first sight to be two problems with the YP scraper.
Background: I am scraping UK Yellow pages for the term "plumber" and other related keywords. Max 5 keywords at any one time.
First problem was that the scrape would start and be working well with lots of results showing up and continuously added in to the results box and the "Records Scraped" figure going up and up. However, when the first keyword was finished with the listins would disappear from the screen, but the "Records Scraped" figure would still be there. When I tried to export results I got an error message saying "No records exist"
Second problem.
I have tried scraping one phrase at a time, so this time I just used "plumbers" and now the scraper has stopped completely at what looks like the end of the scrape. It's been hung there now for over 7 hours. Screenshot is attached.
This is the scond time it has hung and the only way to get out of that screen was to use task manager and force a stop.
I sure would appreciate some advice. I'll try anything to get this working.
