Not getting any results from medium or quora

googlealchemist · July 2022

I was testing each source individually to see what i wanted to use for my needs...and noticed medium and quora are not returning any results. I used a couple different very broad, common keywords the first time....then switched the kw to these other very broad keywords shown in the screenshot.

I know both sources have plenty of information on basicaly everything these days so I'm not sure whats going on

same for brave

Sven · July 2022

I see medium getting parsed - few chars per article but still extracting it

quora: not a good choice I guess as all returned articles have little content

brave: seems down/crypting things

Please check if you use proxies for scraping...try turning them off and see if it changes.

ok thanks, just wanted to make sure it wasnt something i was doing wrong on my end.

that was with a brand new scrape directly using no proxies

googlealchemist · July 2022

for quora , since they tend to be shorter articles, would there be a setting i can adjust where it will pull all of the sentences to mix into my content?

what about bbc?

Sven · July 2022

haven't checked BBC, but quora is just not suitable. The sentences are not really worth anything there.

Sven · July 2022

bbc news is fixed in next update

Not getting any results from medium or quora
