Q: Hi, it was working but not anymore

Hi, I bought the code a while ago. and was scraping perfectly and even bought RAM to increase the amount of scrapers to run simultaneously. But now when i try to scrape it doesn't do anything
I run in with hide Browser mode, and all it does is

Opening browser, may take up to 30 seconds
Starting stage 1 - scraping Business Details
Closing Browser...
Scraper Completed.

and that's it, it doesn't matter what keyword i fill in or what location i enter.
It keeps doing this even with a location list + keywords it just continues to the next row without scraping. Is this a bug or what is going wrong?

Is this temporarily or what is going wrong ?

A: I have emailed you and responded to your question. I believe this issue is because you are running 16 copies of the program at once on your system. This is more than anyone I have ever heard of before. Either Google has noticed your scraping because you have 16 copies scraping at once from 1 IP, or your system has run out of resources to support 16 copies of the program running at once.

Q: Other Countries possible ?

Hello, is that only working in the United States or is it also working in other countries around the world or do I have to put several places or villages or whatever to find other results? Thanks a lot.

A: Google Maps works in all countries where google maps exists. So you have the Google Full and Google Quick (from the beta/mac) that will work in all countries.

A: This is too complex of a question for a comment. This highly depends on which of the sites you want to scrape and how much scraping you plan to do. LocalScraper works with proxies and VPNs so there should be no issues getting blocked. The readme page for the program mentions which scrapers may need proxies, and recommends companies that we have used in the past.

A: Sorry, There is no lifetime deal or options for a lifetime deal. Programers need to be able to eat same as other humans. You are paying $8.25 a month for unlimited scraping across 7 websites, with 2 computer activations included. That's $4.12 per computer running the program per month. If you can't afford that then you won't be able to afford the proxies/VPN needed to run the program.

Q: Multiple locations but browser starts everytime with captcha

Hi I bought one license and tried manually one location and it works.
Now I want to do it with over 1000 locations automatically but the captcha in chrome comes everytime and its not a fluent work around.
I want to use it as background processing.
Any settings or not possible?
Thanks

A: We are always fighting with the sites and anti-scraper protections. I have had emails like this saying suddenly google has captchas where it never had them before. I am looking into if there is anything we can do about this but it will take time.
