Q: Failed chromium browser loads
I’m getting ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED errors when the scraper tries to open Google Maps quick using an ISP proxy (whitelisted). The issue is not the program itself, but the proxy.
Please add instant Google Maps page reload on failure, since proxy fails seem unaviodable. Currently, the program skips that ZIP+keyword line as if no results appeared. (but when i search that ZIP it shows good business data to be scraped).
I don't use headless browsing, to help load the google maps.
I run 20 ZIP + 20 keywords, and i get 13-16 Excel files of results. I have to run 1-2 more batches of ZIP+keyowrds at the end of the day (with the failed searches) to make sure i scrape everything.
Also, change the fixed WAIT time to a random delay (7–10 sec) to prevent repeating actions at exact intervals and make the scraper behave more human-like.
