SCRAPE_SITE_ERROR : ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED

Hello, I have this error on two differents website : {"success":false,"code":"SCRAPE_SITE_ERROR","error":"Specified URL is failing to load in the browser. Error code: ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED"}. It happens 50% of the time and for the same url, sometimes it's worked, sometimes no. Few months ago, it worked fine. What the source of the problem ? Is Firecrawl or the websites ?

Hey there! Can you share your request? This might be an issue with a particular proxy.

I just try in postman with https://api.firecrawl.dev/v1/scrape with { "url": "https://www.pluginboutique.com/manufacturers/50-iZotope?page=4&currency=EUR", "formats": [ "markdown", "screenshot@fullPage" ], "timeout": 120000, "location": { "country": "FR", "languages": [ "fr-FR" ] } } The first test works but not the second few seconds later.

Can you try without the location parameter? Or do you need that?

I can try withoout the location but I need this to have the price in €. I just launch a test this morning with the location, and I have this error : { "success": false, "code": "SCRAPE_SITE_ERROR", "error": "Specified URL is failing to load in the browser. Error code: undefined" } I try 5 times without location and it works all the time.

Have you tried scraping this using stealth mode? To do this, set the proxy parameter to stealth: https://docs.firecrawl.dev/api-reference/endpoint/scrape#body-proxy.

No but when I read the doc, by default is in in auto mode so it's already activated if neccessary, no ?

Depending on which version of the API you're using, yes. Can you share a scrape ID? I will take a look.

Where I find it ? In this case, it's for a client and I have only the api key, not the password to access the admin of firecrawl.

Okay please reach out to help@firecrawl.dev with the email address of the account and the last 4 characters of you API key, and any other details I might need to look into this.
