I’m using embedded browser only and keep getting the error message:
“no more results found for source specific users”
There are plenty of users in that source that I had scrapped another time. When I turn off embedded browser only it works just fine following users from the ‘specific users’ source
My API scrape happened from a different account on a different day. I have a list of usernames in the “specific users” section. It should not be doing any scraping at all right now.
re: your question. I still have filters turned on like - profile photo, banned words etc, follow count etc
I also now just removed all the filters as a way of testing and the problem persists. It still says it can’t find results even though my specific users list if full of user names!
Try a different source and see if your problem still persists. Just a test source would be sufficient. Pick an account with around 50k-300k and leave out any filters. And make sure to delete the source you are using atm.
-deleting my ignore list
-cloning the account
-manually using the embedded browser to follow someone successfully
-reducing my specific user list to 1 name
Have you tried manually browsing through the EB and seeing what happens that way? Are you sure it’s not a proxy EB limitation or issue due to what you’re using? Sometimes they’re too slow to load pages properly.
Ian - thanks for your reply. I’m using a mobile phone as a hotspot to provide 4g to the computer. All other computer apps & updates are basically blocked from using the 4g connection. I can use the embedded browser manually and it is fairly slow, but can load pages and follow people. If I turn off use embedded browser then its able to follow via api using this 4g setup
I had this happen to me before… a couple times actually. Still haven’t found out what causes it, but if you export the accounts, reinstall the software and import your sources again that should solve your problem.
Koozie - I just tried to do that. I exported as binary, reinstalled, imported - it auto imported the sources, so then i cleared them and imported the sources again.
It’s definitely not the filters… because back when I was facing the same issue, I removed all filters and added new sources… and it was still doing it. It’s a bug in their software. That’s just their way of putting the blame on you rather than admitting they dont know what’s causing it.
For now:
Take 1 similar account - results - export all - order by follow back ration - copy 2000 first.
Paste in infected with the bug account in the specific users.
I actually even created a fresh account and logged in completely clean settings and this also couldnt follow when “embedded browser ONLY” was selected.
The solution I found which is not a solution. I had to chose “use embedded browser for follow” instead of the “use only embedded browser only”. Then suddenly it could use my specific users source.
